Just to be clear, my only point was, if using backports, to make certain ahead of time that whenever any changes to the packaging, including new or changed dependencies or the like, occur to always be able atomically to get the new version into backports. If conflicts are avoided then backports is fine. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
