Hi all, I'm wondering why some packages aren't available for the testing distribution. For example, I wanted to install apcalc (in the math section) but learned that it's available only for the unstable and stable distributions, not for the testing. (I searched at http://www.debian.org .)
When sarge became the stable distribution, I read that initially the stable and testing distributions are the same but that packages in the testing keep upgraded, if I remember correctly. If that's so, some packages in the testing will get frequently upgraded and others will get upgraded less frequent or not at all, but there's no reason why a package must be removed, is there? (unless there's a security problem or some such serious problem.) I downloaded .deb files in the stable distribution of apcalc and installed them using "dpkg -i". I'm not very unhappy with that. But, I remain puzzled. Cheers, Ryo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
