might be an idea to assume that other people have blocks too, only different ones bin_bash
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:13:20
i can repaste it for you if you need it... i have read the docs and when i need to remember i look it up, but in general discussion i always seem to get them confused
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:13:32
n4dir: of course
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:13:45
that would be silly to assume otherwise lol
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:13:51
stable should be clear, yes?
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:14:09
ya i understand the different levels
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:14:17
new software get's into unstable. and if after 10 days , or so, no bug reports, they get into testing
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:14:20
i just for some reason get the names mixed up in their associations
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:14:23
testing will be the next stable
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:14:25
helps?
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:14:37
right no, that part makes sense.
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:14:48
ah, so the problem is jessie and such?
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:14:50
yea
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:14:57
welcome to my world. :-)
bin_bash 2017-03-09 09:15:01
i just always get stretch and sid mixed up in my head lol
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:20:49
correct me if i am wrong, but wasn't testing only referred to as testing in the past? Only the actual release had a "name" ?
greycat 2017-03-09 09:21:40
testing was created many years ago to make releases more sane
greycat 2017-03-09 09:22:01
as a buffer between sid and stable
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:22:01
greycat: yeah, i was unclear. I meant names like "stretch" for testing right now
greycat 2017-03-09 09:22:18
What about it? I don't understand the question.
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:22:56
In the past you either said lenny (or stable), but if you referred to testing, you called it "testing", not jessie (or whatever came after lenny)
jelly 2017-03-09 09:24:11
n4dir: oh, every testing had a codename
jpw 2017-03-09 09:24:45
nah releases even unstable have had names forever
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:25:34
ok. thanks
jpw 2017-03-09 09:26:32
toystory characters for the uninitiated.
jpw 2017-03-09 09:26:32
and sid breaks all your toys.
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:26:32
you wish it would ...
greycat 2017-03-09 09:26:32
!sid
dpkg 2017-03-09 09:26:32
[sid] the codename for , named after the kid in Toy Story that breaks toys. The great thing about running sid is that, when it breaks you get to keep ALL the pieces!!
jelly 2017-03-09 09:26:32
unstable merely has a fixed codename FOREVER
greycat 2017-03-09 09:26:32
dpkg, sid =~ s/that, when it breaks/that when it breaks,/
dpkg 2017-03-09 09:26:32
greycat: OK
n4dir 2017-03-09 09:26:32
probably was only me who referred to stable with the "name" and to testing simply with "testing"
jelly 2017-03-09 09:26:57
all the codename references are so confusing to a newbie
