Hmmm... if I'm not wrong, Sid is the development branch that after 10 days moves the package to actual testing branch unless it's freeze (which doesn't means that you can't keep uploading new packages to Sid, they'll just only not be migrated to testing) or someone fills a critical-release bug that holds the package in Sid, it could also be hold by problems on other depending packages that also cannot be migrated to testing. Also known as "unstable", Sid then is used for new releases that upstream consider stable (unstable versions can be uploaded to experimental for trial). Anyway, if you wish you could upload a new version into "experimental" if you're not sure about the stability of the software and it could help you to stay up-to-date with changes that could affect the next releases of Debian. Just my two cents. Thanks. Ernesto _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
