Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 releasedDebian GNU/Linux 3.1 releasedPosted Jun 7, 2005 16:41 UTC (Tue) by jonth (subscriber, #4008)In reply to: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 released by kena Parent article: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 released
Sid will not become testing. The new names are:
stable=sarge (was woody)
To be honest, I've never understood why this is like this. I always thought the point of named releases was that they moved from unstable->stable, but they remained the same. Whatever.

Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 released Posted Jun 7, 2005 18:03 UTC (Tue) by jeroen (subscriber, #12372) [Link] As far as I understand it, when Etch is created it will be the same as sarge, not the same as sid. Then the normal testing ftp scripts start running, just like before the freeze, and all not buggy packages from sid will enter etch. So sarge moves to stable, and a new testing (etch) is created. Sid keeps being unstable. The names reflect that.
