-===== Warning ===== 
-PLD 3.0 is currently in an early stage of development so even quite radical changes are to be expected. ​

-mmazur ​is the RM, but quoting him: +Jan Rękorajski (baggins at pld linux org) is the current ​RM
  
-<​file>​I'​m the RM, but since I'm not actually doing active development and just fixing the infrastructure from time to time, I've shown pluto how everything works, since he's been the most active and, well, most of the times if you want something, you should discuss it with him.

 +PLD th is stable, in endless development. No releases are planned, but irregular snaphots are going to be made, main repository is constantly updated, but you can consider main th repository as stable distribution.

-In Th, RPMs can always be found under ''​th/​$treename/​$architecture/​RPMS/​'' ​directoryCurrently "​PLD" ​and "​test"​ trees will be used (most users will probably want to stay away from the latter) and "​upgrades-*" trees **might** be used after Th's official releaseDo note, that the "​ready"​ tree known from PLD 2.0 will **not** be used in any way that would make it usable ​to users (assuming ​it will be used at all)+In PLD Th introduces debuginfo packages (detached debug info for gdb and friends). In Th all package debuginfo are kept under paths corresponding to their target architectures as ''​debuginfo''​. ​This allows smaller poldek indexes meaning poldek likely works faster ​and perhaps happier mirror maintainers. See [[http://​lists.pld-linux.org/​mailman/​pipermail/​pld-devel-en/​2009-April/​020948.html|this]] mailing list post to see how it all started
