As far as I can say after downloading the source packages for licq and

I do not care enough to do the test myself (sorry), but my sister was successfully using licq with Hebrew, and she is defenitely using the package as supplied in Sid.

, it means that it's only a question of time until these packages make their way into stable. The big question at hand is, therefor, whether they will make it into sarge, or wait until the next one along.




Basically, stable = Woody + security updates.


No - stable is a symlink currently pointing at woody. Woody = 3.0+security updates.

Therefore, in general, no
package will enter stable until Sarge will be officially released, which
will make stable refers to it.

At which point licq with Hebrew support may enter stable. This is exactly what I said. "make their way into stable... whether they will make it into sarge".

A package that was accepted to the debian
archive enters unstable, also known as Sid.

That one is an alias.

If there are no problems
with it as well as with the packages it depends on, it is then copied to testing, which is also called Sarge.


Not true. Testing is also called Sarge *now*. Next time we have a Debian release (hopefully, before 2005 this time), Testing will be called something else.

It seems that licq is always broken
in some way and that it was never released by Debian, nor it has entered
testing.


This is to Shaul - adding a space after the dash dash (i.e. - "-- " instead of "--") at the begining of your signature will cause mail clients to recognise it as a signature.





I don't recall explicitly configuring this feature. I am using mutt
+ vim and it seems that the the signature inclusion, together with the "--" string came out of the box.


Are you saying that mutt added the "--", or that you wrote it yourself? If the former, that needs to be reported as a bug in Mutt.

How did you fix it?
