Re: Release Plans (1999-05-10)
This is why I suggested the new area, apart from main, non-free, and contrib.
People who want the updates should have a nice, easily accessable place to find
these packages. From a system administration standpoint, it's nice to know
EXACTLY where to go to update the entire distribution automatically(via
apt-get), if there's been a major package release since the dist went frozen.
If the developer wants to make a slink version, because of either personal
reasons, or because of requests, then, once the new package(s) have been tested,
let them be added into "updates".
