three different sets of daily ISOs -- what's the difference?

There are three (seemingly) different sets of daily ISOs at
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/powerpc/20040710/
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-
i/powerpc/20040710/
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sid_d-i/powerpc/20040710/
Can anybody explain what the difference is?  And which one should I 
use for testing?

Thanks!
Rick

Hi Rick,

Note: this is a general answer; it could be things are different for PPC.

The daily and sarge_d-i images are identical.

Currently, your best option for testing is sid_d-i. This is the version that 
includes the most recent changes (e.g. the new netcfg and languagechooser).
During an IRC meeting last week, it was decided that TC1 will be abandoned and 
the next testing and release candidates will be based on sid_d-i.

Cheers,
Frans

 Hi Rick,

Nope.

 The daily and sarge_d-i images are identical.
 
 Currently, your best option for testing is sid_d-i. This is the version that 
 includes the most recent changes (e.g. the new netcfg and languagechooser).
 During an IRC meeting last week, it was decided that TC1 will be abandoned and 
 the next testing and release candidates will be based on sid_d-i.

There are two image sers, sarge_d-i, which is built with sarge .udebs,
and sid_d-i, which is built with sid .udebs. In truth these are two
separate sets of .udebs, since moving between them i done manually, and
not with the testing scripts like the rest of the .debs.

sarge_d-i thus held the beta, and lately the tc1, while sid_d-i held the
developement tree.

Since tc1 is now being abandoned in favor of doing a new snapshot of
what is currently in unstable, that is sid_d-i, the daily builds have
been moved from pointing to sarge_d-i to pointing to sid_d-i a few days
ago.

Furthermore, the cdrom d-i install only the sarge set of .debs, but with
the netboot ones, you get a choice of installing either the sarge or sid
.debs (or woody, but that is probably irremediably broken right now).

I never tested, but maybe the business card isos, since they hold all
the .udebs, allow also to chose between sid and sarge.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

The daily symlink was recently switched back to point to sid_d-i.
