What about when we sit and work on a package to fix something, eg. during a gathering, and want to test if the fix work ?
I'm not sure whether I understand the problem? Is there any difference between work in gatherings and otherwise? Do you think about the time delay by one day until the package is available at the Debian mirror? If this is the problem I would maintain a local Debian-Mirror and push the package in question to this local mirror that in this case would behave like the Debian unstable mirror from tomorrow (or the testing mirror from tomorrow + 10days). Perhaps writing a wrapper around dput that does this automatically might reduce time in case this would happen frequently.
Not a big problem for me, as I tend to do my own image (and repository) if needed :)
So this would probably be the answer, but I fail to see a contradiction to a general maintainance of packages inside Debian. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
