Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] "Unstable" repository

[uel a. <ue...@gm...>]

I agree with everything, But I read it a little diferently so I would
propose these changes

-testing: every package should go here till deemed worthy by a team of
official package testers, then sent to it's rightful place.

-stable: (or official): only for the specific versions of apps/libs in the
release or their security/bug fixes

-extra: (or unofficial): for libs / apps not included in the distro.

-current: for updated versions of libs / apps included in the distro,
but not simple security /bug fixes, rather feature updates.

-unstable: for beta and rc apps.

I would also volunteer for testing packages as I have room to keep a clean
box to install them onto.

Thanks
Uel
