OK, with debian 3.0 released, I'm wondering if I should now change my default release in my apt.conf to "stable"? At the moment it's still "testing", and I haven't noticed any changes when I apt-get upgrade. Congrats to the debian developers, and the users that have supported debian (bug reports, just plain using it). What a complicated project, and only 2.5 months late!

At present the testing script isn't running, so testing *is* the same as stable. It should resume service again soon though and then things will propagate again. If you've been running testing then you possibly want to continue doing so if it's a desktop machine. Personally I'm going to continue running it on my desktop and laptop and continue running stable on remote servers.

It's not late. It released when it was ready, just like we said it would. :) (Though 2 years between stable releases strikes me as a little long...) J.

Mine currently looks like this: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free if you leave it as testing when bits of Debian sarge (aka 3.1) are uploaded you will start picking them up instead of woody. You could of course change all the bits that say stable to woody to be on the safe side....

It was never "late" it arrived when everyone said it would, ie when it was finished :) Adam -- "Step away from the Cathedral, This Bazaar is loaded" jabberid = quinophex@jabber.earth.li

What's the point? Go unstable. Most software are still old in Testing anyway.

Doesn't it really matter? I mean you are running the latest bleedin' edge of Debian ;) Another thing is that Woody cd will be outdated by now ;) -- Craig
