jdg@auric:~$ madison tetex-bin
tetex-bin | 1.0.6-7 | oldstable | source, alpha, arm, i386, m68k, powerpc, sparc
tetex-bin | 1.0.7+20011202-7 | stable | source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
tetex-bin | 1.0.7+20011202-8 | testing | source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
tetex-bin | 1.0.7+20011202-8 | unstable | hurd-i386, m68k
tetex-bin | 1.0.7+20021025-2 | unstable | arm, hppa, ia64, mips
tetex-bin | 1.0.7+20021025-3 | unstable | source, alpha, i386, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc
The testing scripts will only move a package from unstable into
testing if the unstable version has been present for at least N days
and is in sync among architectures, among verious other criteria.
In this case, testing is at 1.0.7+20011202-8, and will remain that way
at least until all of the unstable architectures are in sync. So if
we just wait now, the 1.0.7+20021025-3 version will eventually make it
into testing; anything else has already been superceded.
