Thanks for the explanation! I think this can explain why an old version of package is still in archive, but still cannot explain why it appears in *experimental* column in DDPO page. > > How can I check the ESO status for a specific package? > > $ apt-cache showsrc golang-github-jinzhu-inflection | grep -E > '^(Version|Extra-Source-Only|)(:|$)' Great example. Thanks again! I checked one package I mentioned previously: ==== $ apt-cache showsrc golang-github-google-go-github | grep -E '^(Version|Extra-Source-Only|)(:|$)' Version: 32.1.0-1 Extra-Source-Only: yes Version: 32.1.0-2 ==== But 28.1.1-1 still appears in my DDPO [2] in experimental column. So I think there might be two possible bugs in DDPO: - golang-github-google-go-github version 28.1.1-1 was never uploaded to experimental, but unstable. - golang-github-google-go-github 28.1.1-1 is not in ESO anymore, but still appears in DDPO.
