Re: package "eclipse" for testing



Hum... sorry but this official page ( http://www.debian.org/releases/ ) tells that :

The current stable distribution of Debian is version 6.0, codenamed squeeze.

The current testing distribution is wheezy.

Testing is Squeeze nowadays. Wheezy has become stable since a couple of
months. You might wanna double-check your /etc/apt/sources.list
Eclipse 3.5 is in testing (=squeeze):
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/eclipse

Trying to install eclipse via dpkg might become a dependency nightmare.
