One of the packages I maintain is mercurial. Frequently (e.g., now), there
is a rc version available for test. It will probably break some other package
that depends on it.
I am thinking of a model like google uses for chrome. I could install any of:
google-chrome-{stable,beta,unstable}
I don't think fedora uses this model anywhere. AFAICT, in Fedora there is
always only 1 version available - although there could be one in updates-
testing. But the purpose of updates-testing is now for a long-lived parallel
development - it is designed for short term before promotion to stable.
Although the google-chrome model is perhaps not the ideal way to handle the
idea of alternative versions - it seems good enough.
Any thoughts?
