Looking at this briefly, it appears to be mostly nonsense. The accuracy rate of statements on it about unstable or etch looks to be running at about 50%, and even when it's accurate about some things, it has some obvious bad ideas (listing 2.2.0 as the current best version for Apache, for instance). > "Inside" Debian, you begin with this : > http://packages.debian.org/etch/ (err 404) Where did you get that URL from? http://www.debian.org/releases/ correctly links to http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/. > It then links you to popcon stats http://popcon.debian.org/ but there > are two more "sites" I discovered I don't remember how : > http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/ answers the tester question "Why is package > X not in testing yet ?" (the number 2 question of a tester) This site is really not particularly useful to people other than Debian developers; too much of the information is technical or related to the inner workings of the testing migration. > http://dehs.alioth.debian.org/ the nirvana asks the tester's question > "why the dd isn't packaging current upstream software ?" No, it doesn't. It answers the question of whether the version in unstable appears to be up to date, which is a completely different question. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
