usually we don't use unstable (from upstream) software even in -current but in case we'll use again the stable version before 0.5 then it's up to the maintainer. just in case after GNOME others would start to package development releases in -current :) of course if somebody say in a pkg's devel version there is <foo> cool feature and it really worth packaging then (with a "-devel" suffix appended in the pkgname) it can be pushed to extra, but usually it requires too much time to maintain such packages. for example we already have a mutt-devel pkg udv / greetings, VMiklos -- Developer of Frugalware Linux, to make things frugal - http://frugalware.org _______________________________________________ Frugalware-devel mailing list [email protected] http://frugalware.org/mailman/listinfo/frugalware-devel
