That's a choice that the developers/packagers are free to make for themselves really, which is cool. I mean, I know from first hand experience that some packages won't be compatible with Debian unstable but will be compatible with Ubuntu (in my case, because Ubuntu had a newer Gnome than Debian and some APIs had changed between the versions). But I'm all for contributing back to Debian where possible since they contribute so much to Ubuntu. -- Andy Price IRC: welshbyte http://andrewprice.me.uk -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
