More or less experience, but: - how to you make sure that package do not build dependency chains, so they can be extracted out of Sid and be taken to Woody and - how can I maintainer tell to FTP master or their scripts that _this_ version is to be frozen, and the newer versions are allready experimts with new features and not meant for testing? AFAICS there is no such interface between maintainers and FTP maintainers. > [0] Archive bloat, incorrectly targetted uploads causing the same problems > Adrian's worried about, difficulty autobuilding. I see trouble, sooner or later. You would have to invest lots of time for testing, checking changelog, and you cannot still be sure. A "frozen" fork would solve at least the dependency chain problem, and people could backport their bugfixes (for unreported or reported bugs) to the frozen packages. The current scheme looks like a kludge for me (sorry). Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- Profitip No. 413: Zeit sparen durch Rebooten im Hintergrund.
