Debram (part of Debtags) needs something approximating a final sarge package list. The latest /dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages file (2 April 2005) is publicly available, and this probably suffices, but I have one question for Colin or whoever else can briefly answer. Question: at the moment, does testing significantly lack packages which * were present in testing recently, and * will probably rejoin testing before the release? In other words, is the present Packages file materially unreliable as an approximate final sarge package list? If no, then I would just use the present Packages file. If yes, then I have a backup plan. If the question seems too subjective, I would say that I am not especially worried about some libobscure- newthingie-perl which might sneak into testing just before the freeze. My concern is for older, established packages which (for reasons I do not understand well) happen temporarily to be absent from testing on my sample date. Should I worry about this? Please advise. -- Thaddeus H. Black 508 Nellie's Cave Road Blacksburg, Virginia 24060, USA +1 540 961 0920, t@b-tk.org (Please reply to me also, not just to the list.)
