Re: [orca-list] GNOME 3.6 with gnome-shell: I'm impressed so far

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea arrl net>]

Hello,

sid and testing both work that way.  They are never renamed and always rolling.

The newest go into sid then when they are mostly stable, they go into testing for more tests and finally into stable if they are to be released or they stay in testing if they are to be released in the next version.

There is also Debian experimental and that is even more volatile than sid or also called unstable.

If your /etc/apt/sources.list has sources all named unstable or testing they will all roll but sid / unstable will roll the fastest.

You can pull packages from both unstable / sid and testing by pinning as shown here:

http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences

The problem with that is you have to reconcile the conflicts yourself.

Best to all,

But if you have the repos as testing it will roll.

I do not have wheezy in sources.list

Arch must have a way to get all the packages then.  I am using Debian Testing which is never a release, it just keeps on changing for ever and ever.

Debian Sid also does the same but much more so.  GNOME 3.6 isn't in Sid yet, and that's where it will go first.

Sid just has too many package changes for me, Testing is good enough and it is rolling which I like I never update, I just roll around and around forever.

Not as far as I know, but you can expect packaging to commence quickly after
the forthcoming Debian release, whenever that is. (It could be Gnome 3.8 by
then, of course).

Unless there's something in 3.6 that you really need, it would be best to
wait. If you really can't stand Debian's release policy, then Arch Linux might
be more to your liking - they never freeze the distribution and therefore
never make "releases" in the traditional sense.
