That means fis-gtm should be 6.2 by then and vLATEST by
the time the next stable Debian is released. *Then* one
can start to wonder about several versions. The infra-
structure is there.
I don't really get the problem. All software is
released in versions. Each old version is available
in snapshots.debian.org. Oldstable/Stable/Testing/Unstable/
Experimental each can carry one specific version
deemed fit for release at the appopriate time.
People needing particular versions will install them
from snapshots.d.o and pin that. Done.
@Andreas: s.d.o contains *all* versions ever released
since its inception ? Including versions that made
it into Testing - but got subsequently overwritten by
a newer version coming in from Unstable - without ever
ending up in Stable ?
