How to install BitTorrent on Woody?
I'd like to install BitTorrent on Woody, but it's not available in stable. I
think it's available in testing. Or does someone have a package built for
Woody? I need it for PowerPC. I think BitTorrent is written in python, but it
uses wxPython, for which I would need a PowerPC binary.
I added the following to my /etc/apt/preferences but it didn't show up in dselect:
Package: bittorrent-*
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 850
Package: wxpython-*
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 850
The stable entry in preferences has Pin-Priority 777.
I admit to not fully understanding how to do pinning, it still seems like
voodoo to me.
In general I vastly prefer to get packages that are actually built against
woody than to use pinning to get them from testing, because I fear pulling down
a lot of dependencies that are going to break my box.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Mike
