You are looking at the version in experimental so of course its labled as experimental ;-) On the other hand, the version in unstable is the stable version of subversion. I believe that also the version in experimental is considered stable. There was an email from the maintainer some time ago that the latest version is not propagating the unstable at the moment (and thus testing) due to the freeze process of testing, and since there are a few dependencies it would require compilation and testing of some other packages, so its held back untill the freeze (or possibly untill the freeze will prove to take too long, whichever comes first). You should be safe with both the version in unstable and experimental in this specific case (unrelated to this, I use a few packages from experimental and didn't run into trouble yet). If you are looking for packages for woody, look in backports.org there is a version for i386 woody, and I also found a version for powerpc woody under apt-get.org. > Does anyone know any third party site (like dotdeb) that provides 3rd > party stable packages for subversion. > > Also can I hear from people who have used Subversion on Debian whether > it is advisable to switch from CVS to Subversion in Debian and if > there are problems assosiated with it? > > Thankyou so much > > Good luck to all > > Kind Regards > > Siju > > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
