Just for your interest, I did this at one point too thinking that "testing"
was the level above "stable" and "unstable" was the bleeding-edge versions.
This is *not correct*.
"Unstable" (aka Woody - still?) is the version up from "Stable" (aka
Potato).
Current Mappings:
Potato => Stable
Woody => Unstable
Sid => Testing
On this note, what actually happens in apt when the migration takes place?
If I have a potato system running doing regular, automatic apt-get
udate;apt-get upgrade on "stable" .. when Woody migrates to Stable, will
that update/upgrade be a particularly big one and upgrade the whole lot? If
not, will woody packages be upgraded but not the kernel/distro? If not,
will it continue to try to get potato packages that will obviously no longer
be being supported?
Cheers,
Brian.
