sid vs experimental

粉孩子

以前软件先进sid，然后testing,stable

现在又出现了experimental?

不知道这个experimental能不能叫做一个distribution?

一向有的。开发者参考手册中是这么描述的。

4.6.4.3 Experimental

The experimental distribution is a special distribution. It is not a full distribution in the same sense as `stable' and `unstable' are. Instead, it is meant to be a temporary staging area for highly experimental software where there's a good chance that the software could break your system, or software that's just too unstable even for the unstable distribution (but there is a reason to package it nevertheless). Users who download and install packages from experimental are expected to have been duly warned. In short, all bets are off for the experimental distribution.
