Stable: 5.0.375.86 Beta: 5.0.375.86 Dev: 6.0.437.3 For some reason, I thought the stable channel was still in v4. >> What's the rationale behind using the beta releases for >> chromium-browser in Debian rather than just using the nightlies? > > Should we use the Chromium nightly builds ? Really? :) Well, when you put it that way. :) Honestly, I don't think of Sid as a collection of stable packages. That's what I think about Lenny. I think of Sid as "the latest and greatest", regardless of version, and that's why I thought the nightlies would be appropriate here. In my mind's eye, I played out that Sid would get the nightlies and Squeeze would get the beta pushes. But, following the stable channel makes sense. I was just curious. -- . O . O . O . . O O . . .
