Re: Proposal: Repository for fast-paced package backports
Hi all,
I like the idea of having a volatile archive and I agree with
almost all what Dominik wrote about the motivation.
I would, however, completely separate it from backports. I.e.
- separate NEW queue
- different suffix
- no need to keep a volatile package out of testing
Why?
- volatile is a different beast from backports, this should be
very clear to both package maintainers and our users
- in volatile we can give less guarantees about future
upgradability than backport provides
- volatile must not put any burden on the backports team, which
e.g. a common NEW queue would probably impose
Just my 6¢, Cheers
