X-debbugs-cc: aptit...@packages.debian.org Package: apt Severity: wishlist Gentlemen, one day there should be a way to use the "urgency" field. I hereby present the following long term wishlist item.
Say a maintainer makes a minor change in a package, e.g., adding a missing punctuation mark in some documentation, but will be going on a long vacation soon, so pushes his changes to the repositories. He wishes to say: "For those users installing the package for the first time, by all means, get the latest package. But for those users merely tracking the latest version via apt-get upgrade etc., downloading all those bytes would really be a waste. Don't bother." Anyway, it seems apt lacks functionality to differentiate the two cases, or at least for the user to use the "urgency" field as seen in the apt-listchanges messages. Anyway, "just use the stable distribution" is not what we're talking about here. This is not a sid vs. experimental, etc. issue. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
