Package: gnome-text-editor
Version: 43~alpha1-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
I noticed that alpha and beta releases of some gnome packages, including gnome-
text-editor, have been uploaded to unstable instead of experimental.
I thought experimental is the suitable pocket for alpha testing packages:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianExperimental
I'm on Debian testing to receive the latest stable releases, and did not expect
alpha and beta releases.
Are the alpha and beta releases of gnome packages really suitable for Debian
unstable/testing?
Best,
Amr

Yes, gnome-text-editor "43.alpha1" is part of GNOME 43 Beta. At the
GNOME Beta, the software has reached Feature Freeze, UI Freeze, and
API Freeze [1] [2].
By uploading it now at Beta to Debian Unstable/Testing, we have more
time to report any bugs we may find before we release Debian 12 next
year with GNOME 43.
Please feel free to report any specific bugs you may find, either to
Debian or directly to GNOME.
But the version number alone is not a bug.

Thanks,
