I'm finally getting around to releasing some of my stacks as debs. However, I thought you were supposed to start by editing the unstable distro, but now that seems to be gone.

Where did it go, and/or where do you start otherwise?

(I'm aware of these Tutorials but I don't want to break the build by editing the electric distro incorrectly. )

unstable was originally a distro which was designed to be a rolling release distro where integration happened and periodically it would be forked as things solidified towards a release. However in reality this just ended up making a lot of work when things had to be renamed and documentation updated as releases approached.

Now we simply branch each rosdistro file from the previous one.
