If your main use-case is for e.g. provided by a plugin that only works with the lastest development-release you are more or less forced to use a development release. Or some other example i use a self compiled VDR, but i'm also a Debian user. Debian is currently in a freeze-phase for the next stable release. So i looked which version of VDR i could install: apt-cache show vdr | grep Version Version: 1.7.28-1 There isn't even a 1.6 version to install only a single 1.7 Version. (Technically i'm on unstable, but there shouldn't be that much difference as long as Wheezy isn't released ) And this is Debian, famous for being ultraconservative when it is about stability. I'm smelling a problem of reality. When the caravan moves on .... Linus realized that when he changed the development-model of the kernel last time some years ago: Yearlong "gaps" are a problem in reality. -- Matthias _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
