sure.... but this attitude disapoint me... It means we couldn't use archlinux in production or any project that need at least stability in installation. Sure we have to test everything before to go in production. But we can't test something if this test is invalidated every 4 hours/days. This is very annoying. I'm agree with you minor release (bug release, seecurity release) could be released in current without testing phase. But do you consider php 5.1 is a minor release ? this isn't since it deliver new features and change some behaviours. All release of software that change behaviours would have to be in testing before in my opinion. I know I could "not install/upgrade" and can wait about comments in ml. That's just these incident come more often these days and this is a problem I think.
Anyway I think this just a problem of knowing what is "minor" and what isn't. And test if feature choosen in configure is also another point ;) This is more easy if it's in testing. - Benoît On Tue, 2005-12-06 at 20:43 +1100, James Rayner wrote: > Arch is bleeding edge.
