neither do we. while we do support running the next stable of live-* on the current stable distribution (which is what i've said, not the implication to run 4.x alpha versions), we only recommend people using alpha versions for development/testing purposes. that's why they are marked alpha and currently in experimental only. depending on the state of the alpha versions, they might be completely broken, or perfectly working. if that bothers someone, any help is appreciated to work on that (see below), or the respective alpha versions should just not be used. 'workarounding' it by not uploading alpha versions in the first place and keeping them in git only doesn't make sense. wrt/ #726536, clearly, the place to do development is in 4.x and not in 3.x (or even 3.x within wheezy), which is why i emphasised earlier to do systemd stuff in 4.x. after all, we do not want to have a 3.x branch having more features/fixes/$whatever than 4.x. > I would start with a. setting up QA processes and tools to ensure the > "debian" branch doesn't break anything I care about too often; b. > helping bootstrap processes to make important decisions collectively; > c. thinking the roadmap through together, and more importantly, > updating it regularly to get a clearer sense of how we're doing and > what others can reasonably expect from us; d. reviewing and testing > code from others before it lands into the Debian archive). > Unfortunately, these days I have no time to do any substantial part of > this neither do i. of course, anyone is more than welcome to help/work on these things (and more). -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: daniel.baum...@progress-technologies.net Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
