Hi Lars,
A simple question. You mention that you use apt-get in this new testing
environment. Would it be useful to allow an apt-get workalike(dpkg/aptitude/wajig)?
The Sarge release notes mention that woody->sarge upgrade is best done
with aptitude. So if you had tested an woody/stable->sarge/stable, would it
not need to use aptitude as recommended by the release notes? Not sure
if apt-get will be recommended for the next stable upgrade cycle. Is
somebody working on making that so?
Anyway thanks for the great new testing software.
Cheers,
Kev
