Nah. sid was always a never-to-be-released tree. After all, why would you want to name your release after an evil kid who destroyed toys? sid used to be used just for architectures that were not ready to be released yet. Before the testing tree was created (some time after Potato was released), unstable used to be named after the upcoming release. After the testing tree was created, unstable was renamed sid, and the new testing tree was named after the upcoming release. -- Hubert Chan <hubert@uhoreg.ca> - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
