Being hopeful as a maintainer doesn't help a user. And backports for people who rely on certain software functionality occur on many places, so I personally consider the samba 3 snapshot a mistake. Providing snapshots is a good idea if you want to help stabilize the software, not forcing people to use them (which you do if people upgrade to unstable) Ralf > > >Mind that the packages on http://download.kde.org have all recent KDE > > security issues fixed.
