Um, we already have this. It's called 'stable-updates' or 'proposed-updates'. In sources.list speak: deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/ Maybe this should be publicized more. It's pretty much a "buyer beware" area. If anyone uploads to "stable", it gets moved into there. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
