the dists/stable-updates directory
So I screwed up in packaging, and going directly from bo my fvwm95 for
hamm won't upgrade. Ooops; I made a mistake - this happens. (People
upgrading from a previous hamm version did fine - I really thought I'd
tested this, but apparently not thoroughly enough)
Ok, so after the hamm release I get a bug report about the problems
upgrading from bo, investigate them, and fix them. I submit a new
fvwm95 for stable and it gets put into stable-updates.
Fair enough.
My question is now: is the stuff in stable-updates ever going to be
integrated into the stable distribution? If so, what's the timescale
on that? Also, are those in charge of the official CD images going to
be putting the stuff in stable-updates into the directories on the CD?
I'm expecting a series of reports like this when the CDs finally begin
to ship...
Failing that, is there a way to point apt at a directory that just
contains a bunch of .deb files? I'd like to be able to tell people
that they can get the latest stable stuff just by adding a particular
line to /etc/apt/sources.list, but the sources.list manpage only
describes the "deb" type, which can't cope with a completely flattened
directory sturcture like that.
