Wannabe-maintainer's question
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi!
I'm thinking about joining the Debian Project, first as a maintainer or
a documentation writer. Now I'm trying to figure out what Debian
version would be appropriate; in other words, should I install an
unstable 'Woody' developer's snapshot or stay with the stable versions
(and essentially wait for the new 2.2)?
Probably the most ideal way would be to install the unstable version and
update it frequently. But there's a problem: I don't have an Internet
access on my Debian box, so updates via FTP are impossible :-( Frequent
snapshots from Debian FTP mirrors would be no good either, too much
downloading and bandwidth waste. So, in short, I couldn't upgrade the
base installation, at least not often.
So is it sane to install a stable version and do the developing with it?
Or would it be better to install an unstable snapshot, knowing that it
won't be upgraded for a while?
If this is a RTFM-style question, sorry, please give pointers for more
information.
Best regards,
Petteri.
