No, you can, for example a package with stable, testing and bleeding versions: stable: foo-1.2.3-4 testing: foo-1.2.4-5 (and foo-1.2.3-4) bleeding: foo-2.0.0-7 (and foo-1.2.4-5, foo-1.2.3-4) So the less stable repos contain the rpm-older more stable packages, too. The main reason for this setup is to have the repos self-contained, e.g. bleeding has all dependencies it needs (some of which will be in stable or testing), you don't have to combine with the stable or testing repos. That was often a user error. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
