vi giro delle novità su debian (fonte: debian-user mailing list)...

> There is help coming for you.  In the next few weeks, hopefully, the
> entire unstable package archive will be rearranged completely (although,
> it won't be obvious to us peons).  The goal is to create a concept of
> "package pools", so instead of just three package areas (stable, frozen,
> unstable) we'll have as many as we like.  Packages can/will appear in
> more than one.  The idea is you can declare, for example, that you want
> to upgrade this pool of packages but not that one, etc.
>
> Also, there's the "test package pool", where packages will automatically
> be moved into that pool if that package (and all the packages it depends
> on) has been available for 2 weeks or so with no critical bugs logged
> against it; this should provide a pretty solid distribution.
>
> The whole package dependency thing will allow this to all work without
> simply generating a huge mess.
>
> Once package pools are available, I predict many wonderful things will
> start happening.  Stay tuned.
