That's a two way street. If we oughtn't obsess with pushing for releases, there may be others that oughtn't obsess with holding back on releases... :-) I daresay I have been quite happy enough with using unstable for various purposes. For my own purposes, the current state of affairs is pretty acceptable, with the two exceptions: 1. I'm keen to see x.org come into play, and that's "officially" a post-sarge thing, and 2. I'm keen for AMD64 to become an "official" Debian relase I could point to for servers at work, which has a similar dependancy. I CANNOT recommend Debian/AMD64 right now. And it is exasperating that "stable" is still using not only an ancient major version of PostgreSQL, but even an ancient, known-to-have-numerous-instabilities (since there are subsequent minor releases) release. The minor releases only come to fix instabilities... Testing and unstable are useful answers to this, but it's exasperating that there wouldn't be a move to 7.2.7, which is a safe binary upgrade... -- http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/linux.html "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good." -- Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784)
