Bug#594461: apt-setup: Should propose using t-p-u when testing is installed

Well, after thinking a little bit more, I wonder if the case of users installing testing *and then* wanting to track stable is really what we want to address here. And I also wonder whether that happens often (that someone installs testing and then sticks to stable once the testing (s)he installed has been released. I more see users who install testing as those users you want to address with your CUT proposal, ie people who will always follow testing. In such case, it then makes some sense to *not* use the release name in sources.list. And, of course, the question of upgrade path to stable is becoming less important. OTOH, not being able to guarantee an upgrade path from t-p-u to (the next) stable is probably not a good idea if we want people to use t-p-u (which was the original point of this discussion). Couldn't that be turned into a requirement? signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I didn't think about upgrade path but the revision there will be smaller then unstable so a package migrating to testing would be used in place of the older version.

It might be quite difficult to find CD drivers actually. On my laptop,
for instance, the recovery partition doesn't have any. Copying the
files ahead still permits to boot in that case. I have reworked it to
say to copy to c:\. I have added the possibility of booting directly
from the CD, however.

There is a 'squeeze-proposed-updates' alias for 'testing-proposed-updates', which will continue to work after release (when it becomes 'stable-proposed-updates' instead). So whatever method is used for configuring sources.list currently (and I think it's always right to use the codename here rather than the suite name, to avoid accidental dist-upgrades down the line) should apply equally well to testing-proposed-updates in that sense. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

One challenge that should be considered, is what should happen when testing become stable, and the meaning of testing-proposed-updates changes. For example now, testing-proposed-updates is packages intended for squeeze, and after the release, it will no longer have packages intended for squeeze. Should those installing testing today keep using testing, or should they get squeeze? If they should get squeeze, the testing-proposed-update source will give them the wrong set of packages after squeeze is released. I believe those installing testing today should get squeeze and continue to use squeeze after the release. At least that is what I expect when I install testing today.
