Hello, This is probably a faq, but will someone please help me understand the Relation between 'Cooker' and 'Release' ?
I know that the packages in 'cooker' are a work in progress and that 'contrib' never gets the status of 'stable release'. In the past I have just waited until the 'stable' ISO's are available and then downloaded them. Now, after using rsync to help update my server (from 'updates') on a nightly basis, I begin to understand just how much work goes on behind the scenes. Updating packages seems to be a full time job for those thankless programmers and the Mandrake archive maintainers. So, in the spirit of frequent updates, i'd like to have a better understanding of the difference between 'cooker' and 'release'. Is it as simple as: 1) Freeze the codebase 2) Work out the bugs with beta's and RC's 3) Take a snapshot of the 'cooker' files on a given day 4) Create ISO's with the aforementioned snapshot Thanks for the clarification ... -- Sincerely, Trent M.
