As I understand it they have nothing to do with each other. 'Proposed updates' is for proposed updates to stable: security fixes, critical bug fixes, etc. Packages are uploaded to it when warranted. 'Testing' is what will eventually become the next 'stable'. Packages migrate to it from 'unstable' automatically when they meet certain criteria, which include being free of rc bugs for two weeks and having all their dependencies satisfied by packages already in testing. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
