Forgive me if this has already been discussed ... if so could someone give me a pointer to the thread.
I find myself fairly confused about Ubuntu packages. I had thought that Ubuntu is a Debian derivative. Therefore I expected new packages to be first placed in Debian and then flow to Ubuntu. However, I recently found this page: https://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/MOTUNewPackages The project seems to have established a mechanism for putting new packeges directly into Ubuntu. Are new Ubuntu packages also put in Debian by the Ubuntu team members? The Ubuntu literature indicates that Ubuntu is a derivative of debian but it looks more like a fork to me. Also, when Ubuntu makes improvements to packages how do those improvements flow back to Debian? Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
