Currently I have tagged my installation to > testing, should I switch the tag to sarge? Ok last question first: The debian branches are named after the characters from the film Toy Story. The aliases stable/testing are changing so before woody was released it was testing now it's stable und sarge is testing once sarge will be released it'll be stable and etch will be testing. So back to your question if you want to stick to a special branch use the Toy story character name of it like woody, sarge, etch, ... btw. etch (new testing) will start as a copy of the last stable version (then sarge). Oh and sid is unstable and will ever be (Sid the evil character, SID=Still In Developement). > Now my questions: > - how will the branch switch from Testing to newStable be realized? If you wrote sarge rather than testing in your sources.list and regulary make an apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade you will recognize one day that only packages with security fixes will be upgraded. That will be the day when sarge will have been released ;). > Okay as you can see, I do not know how the releasing process of debian > works, therefore I hope someone could explain me the facts. hth, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
