Pros and cons of packaging beta-quality? packages in Debian
Hello,
I believe having beta-quality(?) programs as packages in Debian
to be a good thing, especially because it will make Debian packages to be
ready for the real release, quickly, and will have a better debian package
by the time upstream decides to release it.
I am not sure whether experimental is the place for it though.
Any reasoned opinion on whether such packages should enter unstable,
or experimental, and why it should be placed in such a location?
I for one used to package a "beta" package in unstable (ecasound)
and some portions of ecasound family are "beta" state. (qtecasound).
regards,
junichi
