You mean 'testing' and 'etch' are interchangeable as far as the sources.list entry goes?IMHO, its better to pre-empt that by pointing to etch instead of testing. then when etch ebcomes stable, you'll stabilise and can decide on your own when to brave the churning in testing. And I suspect that's a lot easier than trying to go through a downgrade process.Right now yes, but they won't be once etch is released.
I changed testing to etch in my sources.list and got this error: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.debian.skynet.be etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.skynet.be_ftp_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.uk.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://security.debian.org etch/updates/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/security.debian.org_dists_etch_updates_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.debian.skynet.be etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.debian.skynet.be_ftp_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) W: Couldn't stat source package list http://ftp.uk.debian.org etch/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.uk.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
