To submit new builds, they must be compiled against the current unstable (sid, at the moment); that's how progress is made. But you do that in a 'chroot' on your testing system, so you are not exposed to unstable except when compiling new builds. Read up on 'schroot'; it's a very nice tool. -- -- Stephe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
