My interest relates to the move from MySQL to Mariadb - I've already been pointed to links to the fine details of the change. I'm asking if there something with a broad perspective on dealing with any testing release.Our official documentation is available here: https://www.debian.org/devel/testing
I don't believe I've seen that page before.I think the portion titled "Can you provide a real, non-trivial example?" will prove useful.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting
Although I read that page some time ago, it has much more "relevance" when re-read with a specific problem in mind.
I wrote a blog post about using testing (some of it is out of date now): http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/log/2012/10/29/thoughts-on-debian-testing/
I've an old laptop dedicated to my experiments including figuring out how to "have Debian my way" [apologies to a fast food chain;]. That page gives me several ideas to make life easier.
Thank you.
