Good to know: * What is uploaded to experimental, stays in experimental. * There is no automatic "elevation" from experimental to unstable. * What is uploaded to unstable elevates to testing, but not during a freeze. The freeze block prevents it. * To get elevation from unstable to testing during freeze starts with a unblock request. * A valid reason for honouring a unblock request is a fix for a release critical bug. * What in testing is elavates into stable (at "release"). * Uploads to experimental don't close bugs, uploads to unstable do. Upload to experimental done. Groeten Geert Stappers -- Leven en laten leven
