If you upload things to unstable that depend on things in NEW, nobody will be able to install or upgrade that package (until the dependency gets through NEW). This includes, for example, automatic tools for QA. Even though unstable is not meant for production, many people do run it and we're better off when they do, quality-wise, It'd be nice to avoid unnecessary breakage in unstable. Thus, uploading things only after their depenencies get through NEW is what I would do and recommend. -- http://www.cafepress.com/trunktees -- geeky funny T-shirts http://gtdfh.branchable.com/ -- GTD for hackers -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
