Re: uploading a new version, when there's still one in unstable



I think we need to look at the debian autobuilders and
unstable->testing->stable repositories as simply a promotion chain for a
package on the road to a "stable" status.  Releasing weekly snapshot
packages is great for development, but that isn't really the purpose of
the promotion chain.  "experimental" or public_html repositories, like
AJ suggested, are probably the best way to do snapshots.

If you are going to use "experimental" or public_html repositories, make
sure you set the "Bugs:" field in the control file so people aren't
sending bug reports to the BTS.
