And as far as I can see, the testing repo is what it means : for testing! Packages are tested, and breakages / changes are often found during that period. When these changes are normal and/or unavoidable, an announcement is usually made before they are pushed to core / extra. Testing is for people who are willing to contribute to the stability and smooth upgrades of core/extra packages, who have time to figure things out when a breakage happen (which sometimes means spending a few hours, and getting headaches), who update regularly (more than every few months), and who follow arch-dev-public. No one can prevent people who don't fit all these requirements to use testing, but at least they should be aware of them.
There are times when I do have the time to upgrade often, read the mailing lists, browse through the forums and file some bugs.
And there are times when I don't have it. Probably I should just disable the testing repo for times like that.
I was just curious if there is any single place where, for example, changelogs for packages can be found.
Maybe it could be created automatically from SVN log messages. (Yeah, I know, I can implement it if I really want it.) :g
