Debian releases ''stable'' when the release team is confident that fewer peculiar problems will occur with a new release than with the former one. When a release occurs, the version that was previously ''stable'' becomes the ''oldstable'' distribution, while the version that is ''testing'' takes the place of ''stable'', but stays ''testing'' too. Therefore, immediately after a release, the contents of ''stable'' and ''testing'' are identical. VERSIONS AND CODENAMES Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 '' Sarge '' is currently the stable release of Debian. The obsolete Debian stable releases are:
The next release is codenamed '' Etch ''. The version number is not decided yet. POINT RELEASES The so-called ''point releases'' are relatively regular updates to the stable distribution that include all Security fixes that Debian made available separately on the Internet since the last point release. Sometimes they also include fixes for grave bugs, and removals of content that has been found to be legally problematic to distribute. These releases increment the ''rN'' part of ''stable'''s version number (for example 3.0r5 becomes 3.0r6). EXTERNAL LINKS |
