Hello after a long absence. Following up (in a sense) on the recent thread about the wisdom of mixing elements from the stable and testing/unstable distributions, I wanted to ask about how stable current testing is.
I used to run the testing distribution as a matter of course, but have been too busy at work in recent times to devote the necessary time to that project. I miss the fun of it and I'd like to test-drive the upgrade. If the past is a good guide, though, this close to a release, running the testing distribution has been a reassuringly boring experience. Is that so at present? I'd be particularly curious about the transition (back) to ffmpeg. Is that transition actually in place in stretch? And there is or was the big Perl transition. Are there other things to worry about before running dist-upgrade? If anyone has relevant experience I'd appreciate hearing about it. Thanks, Jim
