How it will be done? I remember to hear about 2-3 schemes
1)
/(un)stable +- base
+ ...<other sections>
+- non-free
+- contrib
2) (who didn't divided non-free and contrib)
/stable + sections
/unstable + sections
/non-free + sections
/contrib + sections
3) (mix of the two)
/stable (as it is now)
/unstable (as it is now)
/non-free-stable + sections
/non-free-unstable + sections
/contrib-stable + sections
/contrib-unstable + stable
I has tendance to reject the first because it mixes sectionning and
distributions (For the purpose of this mail, I call distribution any of
this one: the main-free-distribution, contrib, non-free, local and
non-us).
The second simply doesn't divided the stable/unstable thing in non-free
and contrib.
The third is little bit encumber. Don't forget I doesn't included non-us
or local in this (or any other "distribution" people could want to add).
Another scheme could be:
/(un)stable+Debian+sections
|
+contrib+sections
|
+non-free+sections
|
+non-us(+sections? may be)
|
+local(+whatever...)
or
/Debian+stable+sections
|
+unstable+sections
/contrib+stable+sections
|
+unstable+sections
/non-free+stable+sections
|
+unstable+sections
etc.
The first one has the advantage (or disadvantage) to keep non-free and
contrib (and any other "distribution") synchronized with the official
distribution.
The second one allow more flexibility in distributing (we might, by
example, a Debian/RedHat distribution ;) and keep them synchronize with
themselves.
Also, didn't we decided to have a tested distribution or this is also in
discussion? Vincent?
Ok, that's just my 2 pennies. Any comment are welcome, which one did
you preferred?
