Isn't it possible that `scud' (I like it too) or `experimental' to be a complete distribution with exactly the same packages from unstable *but* the experimental packages? What I'm trying to explain is that I like the idea of an extra pool with the buildd and bts but no automatic move to another pool. I think, DD and people with chroot can point to this distribution to test things and it could be a buffer for the new packages. You know, upload a package and a library and have to wait because the library is not available and so on... We put every new packages in `Scud' and when accepted, after some test by others, we can safer move it to `Sid' with less delay. I don't know if I'm clear, I don't know if I'm right... but I think a (new) release organization is necessary... It's just a proposal ;) Cheers, -- .''`. : :' :rnaud `. `' `-
