Distribution



It is in our opinions here at the university that the current materials 
should be placed in a subdirectory like

RELEASED/Debian-0.93R6
RELEASED/security-fixes
RELEASED/updates
RELEASED/contrib
RELEASED/Incoming (to Be used by anonymous users for uploads to contrib)
CURRENT/Debian
CURRENT/private/project/Incoming (Devel uploads)
CURRENT/contrib
CURRENT/Incoming  (To be used by anonymous users for uploads to contrib)
SNAPSHOTS/debian-pre-1.0 (a full tree to be proposed as a releasable system)
Documentation/
		CURRENT/
		RELEASED/
		GENERAL/
AOUT -> RELEASED
ELF -> CURRENT

If we are to be making these moves I would like to forwarn the current 
mirrors so that they could update their filesystems.

But I would really suggest something like this so that we can organize 
the archive a little better. 

Don't let drive space be a factor here. If a mirror site only wants to 
get -RELEASED thats fine if they have drive space to handle it all they
will take it all. Make a suggestion to mirrors to get say -RELEASED and 
-Documentation.

These are the opinions of more than one person here at Central and they 
are the ones that pay for and support the machines :)

I woulld really like to hear a bit more on this matter since we seem to 
back lacking a bit about stating what is a "released" version and what is 
BETA.

Kinda sounds like Win95 all over again :)
