Re: someone knows about https://archive.debian.net/



For the life of me I do not understand why this is in the Debian Live mailing list but a couple of things need clarifying, well I think they do anyway.

>>oh umm this are out of the main threat.. i want to use the archive.debian.net interface, that's all, i only have help from someone to restore, but i refuse that u said.. u are wrong, at the moment o wheeze, ejabbed was many years outdated!!!

I think you need to understand Debian's policy of not upgrading versions within a release. If the package you are referring to was "many years outdated" when wheezy (as testing) entered freeze  it would never be upgraded to a newer release in the regular or security repositories. It could, however, be upgraded in the backport repositories which I believe is what  Philipp mentioned.

>>so ok, lest see, its not in the main.. so most novice users not have that and not know..

It is up to the user to know what is in their system. If you are running a server, of all things, you the admin of that server need to know what is available. You seemed to know the package in main was "many years outdated" so you had done research to find that out but you failed to do research to find out if a more updated version was available for the system you decided to use. A quick search of Debian packages found this https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ejabberd&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all&sourceid=mozilla-search so in the time it took you to complain here you could have done a search, updated your sources.list, and updated your system.

Now that is out of the way I am still at a loss to work out why this is in the Debian live mailing list.
