[SOLVED] Packages in [testing] repo ?

How long packages are tested and kept in [testing] repo ? Because I've used XFCE 4.12 from [testing] repo since day 1 and haven't had single bug. Thanks.

They're kept in testing until they're ready. To follow on your example, you may not have had issues with XFCE 4.12, but several other users have.

@ Alad, yes I know "when its ready" but in general how long new packages are in [testing] repo ? 1-month or 1-year ? Thanks.

EDIT: Never mind, I already see the XFCE 4.12 in official repo now. Thank you everyone!

It looks like it was in [testing] repo about a week :-)

I might be seeing things, but it looks like xfce 4.12 is in extra now. It's your lucky day.

This is Arch, not Ubuntu.
