New Bleeding Edge Section

At revision 9, I've added a "bleeding" section to all the backports repositories (alongside the usual main, universe, etc).

This is an area where I'll experiment with beta or bleeding technology. This may include:

• Smart Package Manager
• CVS Snapshots of Firefox, etc.
• Wine snapshots
• Not-so-stable enhancements, like enhanced features from the upstream release (i.e. upgrade-notifier, simple synaptic from Hoary).

The main difference between bleeding and -staging, is that staging stuff is going to go into the stable branch for sure, while the bleeding stuff is more experimentally natured.

So, common sense says that the stability won't be a big part of the bleeding branch, so don't add it to your sources.list unless you're really sure of what you're doing!

warty-backports warty-backports-staging warty-backports-bleeding

with the main, universe etc. sections for the first two of them (same for warty-extras)

instead of

warty-backports warty-backports-staging

with "main" etc. AND "bleeding"?

I do think, that the "bleeding" section has nothing to do with stable and staging.

You're doing a great job with the backports. Thanks
