I believe it was, if you mean the bug tracker. But in the other thread on this list, you posted a system of version numbers for referring to older versions. Why make people have to remember a parallel version numbering system when there is already a unique name? A Debian version gets a codename long before it gets a number, even before it exists (like buster), and that name never changes. It only gets a number when it's released; in fact, it gets several: wheezy has nine so far. Cheers, David. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
