packages.debian.org
I've been asked on a recent exhibition how a normal user (i.e. not a
registrated Debian developer) can find out which version of a package
is in stable, testing and unstable. Well, he just wondered about
versions and I did nothing else than logging in on pandora and calling
a program which showed me versions, distros and names. He then
complained and I told him about packages.debian.org. Oh, instead of
being happy he complained even more and I had to learn that the method
to find out more about a Debian package by using
http://packages.debian.org/<pkg> doesn't seem to be prominently
documented on our web pages. It's on searchtempl/* somewhere though.
Joy, could you add information about it whereever it might be useful?
Regards,
Joey
