Debian turns tenDebian turns tenPosted Aug 17, 2003 1:57 UTC (Sun) by tjc (guest, #137)In reply to: Debian turns ten by njhurst Parent article: Debian turns ten As a general rule, with 'unstable' I have found that the software is available in debian before I even know it exists. I agree. The only current exception that I can think of is XFree86, but I guess there have been some issues running 4.3 with Debian.

Debian turns ten Posted Aug 17, 2003 3:26 UTC (Sun) by coriordan (subscriber, #7544) [Link] The xfree maintainers are focusing on the testing distribution at the moment because of some kinda feature/package freeze is coming up. 4.2 is what 'testing' uses so their not concerned with 4.3 at the moment.xfree86 is always a pain for Debian because it has to work on 12 hardware architectures and the xfree86 folks only aim to get it working on i386. Maintaining the xfree86 package is as much a programming task as it is a packaging task, they work hard :) Ciaran O'Riordan
