It doesn't matter what order you add the lines but it would run like this in reality: it's search order is Devel -> Staging -> Wheezy (Based on version numbers) I hope I have that right :-)

This may be a Xbian 1 feature but would it be possible to have an option in ssh xbian-config to show the currently installed "package" and the possible upgrades

eg. xbian-package-kernel
Current: 1.3-6.4
Wheezy: 1.3-6.4
Staging: 1.3-6.5
Devel: 1.3-6.7

I suppose just an output from apt-cache policy xbian-package-kernel but neater.

This would be easier for testers to determine their current installed versions against new previous releases. Also an option to "dump" the contents to a text file, that could then be posted on pastebin or the like.

xbian-apt-show-versions -u

To be sure: sequence matter yes or no?
Because I asked two questions in my post.

Another issue I had today.
Samba upstream update packages

Splash Update .... was running forever.
I checked and some samba dialog screen was shown. Something like: an new /etc/samba/smb.conf file is available. Do you want to overwrite?

Maybe a suggestion to make it possible to "close" the splash by hitting the esc key?

[edit]
Maybe due to my mistake. I installed the samba-server upstream deb.
