So I had to promote 4.7.8-1 to test. I didn't pay close attention to the lftp bug reports, so what I'm saying may be nonsense. But wouldn't it make more sense to just remove 4.8.0-1 if it's broken? You could still make 4.7.8-1 a test version, leaving a working 4.7.7-1 as current. Doing it this way, you wouldn't need anything but the ability to mark a release as "test". Ken
