[arch-dev-public] where to put unstable/testing packages?
I've built my first pkg for unstable repo. It is built against testing packages. So do I put it into testing first and move it later to unstable or directly to unstable? Andy

If this is for the unstable repo, you don't have to go through the testing steps. I only want to enforce that for the [core] repo. But if you personally want to do this for all your packages, I always do these things the same way Jan did the gnome packages in testing - build against core/extra and then push to testing. This doesn't work all the time, especially if we're talking so-name changes and things. So I guess it depends on the deps on the package itself.

if it is built against pkgs in testing, it cannot go to the repo! it has to go to testing!
+1 here. Anything built against testing should go to testing. Packages in unstable should be built against core/extra only. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)

As others have mentioned, packages built against testing cannot go to unstable. Them's the breaks. Jason
