Testing moved to current/extra(Testing 合并到了 current和extra)

The contents of Testing have been moved to the current and extra repositories today. This means python 2.5, DB 4.5, wxGTK 2.8, PostgreSQL 8.2 and all the packages that have to be updated for these updates have been merged into current and extra.

As this move involves many packages which take many megabytes, some mirrors can have problems catching up with this amount of updates.

Though we have taken care of most rebuilds, it is possible that we missed a package. A package you use and which is broken now. If you encounter such packages, please report them to our bugtracker.

One note about DB finally: All your Berkely DB based databases need to be upgraded by using the "db_upgrade" tool shipped with the db package.
This involves things like SVN repositories, OpenLDAP databases, etc. Usually a new major version of Berkeley DB will refuse to work with database files from previous versions, forcing you to upgrade the database files.

因为testing里面的东西也不少，有些源可能同步比较慢，更新的时候要注意。

以後就沒有test了???...
就unstable了?

更新ing.......

不是，意思是说原来在testing里面的内容已经test得差不多了，现在要移到current和extra里面去了。

嗯，要是取消testing，这么大的事儿不会简单几句话了事儿的，那可是一个概念上的转变啊。

是啊，有unstable，testing的意义不是很大。

hehe, testing可是比unstable还unstable啊.

testing的存在还是有必要的, 新的包上来总需要有人帮助测试和反应情况. 这些包放在unstable不是太合适.

testing 确实比 unstable 不稳定，这个和debian里面的概念是不一样的。

我的意思是说：包分两类就够了：稳定的(current/extra)和测试中的(unstable)。

我没研究过arch包的分类，不过如你所说的话，testing应该进unstable，而不是current/extra.
不明白...

呵呵，Testing更倾向于“测试”，而Unstable更倾向与“不稳定”
