Yea, I suppose you're right. Switching between unstable/testing/stable releases isn't a feature that a lot of people would use. I know I can just force the "downgrade" since I know it's a newer build. I just figured it would be nice if going from beta to release would be more smooth. I guess this is why Debian/Ubuntu releases name their branches things like Gutsy. Maybe it would be good to do the symlink thing for slimdevices. stable -> 7.0 testing -> 7.0.1 unstable -> HEAD That way I could pin my apt config to something like this: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com 7.0.1 main And people who just want stable can use that. I still like the idea of marking '-release'. :) -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44168 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
