One would hope that's the case with PHP. > Plenty of pre-release software has made it in to stable Debian releases. > Just look at mozilla in potato (m18) or GNOME in slink (version 0.30). But in both of those circumstances, there wasn't a previous, stable release version that they could have chosen instead. With PHP, there is. Again, I"m not familiar with the freeze process at all -- if it's possible to get the final version of PHP 4.1.0 even after woody has been frozen, then I'm all for it. However, if Woody gets released with a beta version of PHP, then I'd question that decision. Are there any sort of guidelines or documents for this? I'm sure most of my trepidation is simply due to a lack of understanding about the freeze process.
