just now it's special case, because of preparing next stable, so "testing" is frozen http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives#s-testing 5.6.1 What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'? When the "testing" distribution is mature enough, the release manager starts `freezing' it. The normal propagation delays are increased to ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ensure that as little as possible new bugs from "unstable" enter "testing". After a while, the "testing" distribution becomes truly `frozen'. This means that all new packages that are to propagate to the "testing" are held back, unless they include release-critical bug fixes. The "testing" distribution can also remain in such a deep freeze during the so-called `test cycles', when the release is imminent. -- 5o Peter.Mann at tuke.sk _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
