One might even go so far as to say that this - uncovering problems not foreseen by the people who planned (and put a lot of work into that) the transition, then started it (and put a lot of work into that, too), and are now working every day on analyzing the problems that pop up and resolving them ASAP - so, yeah, this is the *whole point* of unstable. Catching *all* of these problems and making sure none of the libraries that might cause them ever migrates to testing - this is the whole point. So yeah, thanks a lot to the drivers of this transition, to the Release Team, and to DDs (porters and otherwise) who help with that! IMHO, it is going even better than I expected :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev r...@ringlet.net r...@debian.org p...@storpool.com PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint 2EE7 A7A5 17FC 124C F115 C354 651E EFB0 2527 DF13
