I'd like to switch from having a completely separate apt-beta repo to
having a single apt repo with {etch,lenny,dapper,etc}-beta releases.
Since the terminology is a little unclear on this sort of thing, I'll
re-express my desires in terms of changes to sources.list :)
Old:
deb http://debathena.mit.edu/apt-beta hardy debathena debathena-config
deb-src http://debathena.mit.edu/apt-beta hardy debathena
debathena-config
New:
deb http://debathena.mit.edu/apt hardy-beta debathena debathena-config
deb-src http://debathena.mit.edu/apt hardy-beta debathena
debathena-config
This will make it substantially easier to move packages from beta to
production, which I think is important.
Once we do that, I think it wouldn't hurt to have a standing policy of
letting any non-emergency updates sit in beta for a day or so before
going live.
Anders, Tim - do you guys have any thoughts on this? Any reason it
wasn't done this way initially?
