Yes (although I don't understand why you qualified that with "just the content changes"). > If so, when? Unstable is changed daily as and when developers decide to upload packages. > And more importantly, when does the content of the current > sid/unstable move over to stable and under what name? Unstable packages propagate gradually into testing as described in http://www.debian.org/devel/testing/. Every so often, we move the whole of testing to stable, call that a new release, and create a new testing under a new codename. After that, stable is only changed to fix critical problems (security fixes and maybe a few other things). Releases are announced on the debian-announce mailing list; the last was in July 2002.
