Actually, ncurses source is clear and commented enough that I don't even think this counts as q-n-d just because it's quite obvious what's going on.

I don't know if this is a good news or bad news. but I think there is a big misunderstanding about debian-0.93 and debian-1.0 I really forsee the need to do this debian-0.93 release - debian-0.93 development/debian-1.0 NOTICE: NO LINK development/trial-packages (or some such instead of inside private/project) I am getting 10 - 15 complaints a day about this debian-1.0 and how it won't install all the way or that it isn't all ELF as advertised previously. Well I know I bite my teeth and press delete on all of them I gave up responding two days ago. I am also noticing concerns from MANY mirror sites that they have stopped getting dbian-0.93 because 1.0 was out I have to mail back telling them that this is a development tree and that they should exclude 1.0 and get 0.93. I don't know if I am the only one that gets this type of mail but most of mine comes from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyway it is getting real late and I am going to bed CYA! Matthew S.

Date: Fri, 17 Nov 1995 00:17:33 -0500 (EST) From: Matthew Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am getting 10 - 15 complaints a day about this debian-1.0 and how it won't install all the way or that it isn't all ELF as advertised previously. Well I know I bite my teeth and press delete on all of them I gave up responding two days ago. I'll write a big warning and put it in /debian and /debian/debian-1.0. I am also noticing concerns from MANY mirror sites that they have stopped getting dbian-0.93 because 1.0 was out I have to mail back telling them that this is a development tree and that they should exclude 1.0 and get 0.93. Why would the mirror program be removing debian-0.93?

The only hint that 1.0 is bleeding edge is the fact that there's a symlink named development pointing to it. What's probably happening is that downloaders focusing are in on the debian-0.93 and debian-1.0 directory names, not considering or not understanding the intended implications of the naming of the symlinks pointing to them, and going for what looks like the latest debian release. They may be reading README.DEBIAN first, but not getting any help there. I think the following rearrangement would help: 1. Junk the debian-0.93 and debian-1.0 directory names. 2. Rename debian-0.93 stable_release or somesuch. 3. Rename debian-1.0 pre_alpha or somesuch. 4. Place an INDEX file in /debian. In that file, provide a list of all files and directories in /debian and a short explanation of what each file is. Explain that debian-1.0 is pre-alpha and not yet well tested in that file. Send a copy of that file, identifying it as the ftp.debian.org:/debian/INDEX file to those complaining of problems with debian-1.0. 5. Have someone assigned by name to maintain (4). 6. Have someone assigned by name to maintain README.DEBIAN. 7. Have someone assigned by name to maintain whatever else needs maintaining. 8. Remove unmaintained items from the distribution site. However, items 1-3 would probably kick off another round of mirroring confusion. OK, instead of items 1 thru 3, just delete the debian-0.93R6 and development symlinks, and do a really good job with item 4. Also, place (maintained) README and INDEX files at the top level of the debian-0.93 and debian-1.0 trees. Also perhaps place file named something like THIS_IS_UNRELEASED_PRE-ALPHA_MATERIAL at the top level of the debian-1.0 tree.
