Any backport has to be explicitly selected by the admin of the box concerned before it can be installed, therefore, any package can be backported (subject to it being worth the effort in opinion of whoever does the work). Moving Squeeze to Wheezy entirely via backports is an enormous waste of effort - it would involve specifying every upgrade individually. *FAR* easier to just add to the sources list and do the upgrade properly. Backports don't operate in the same way as a point release. It's only point releases which actually change what is in Squeeze. Just having the backport available does not mean that anyone will actually install it, even those who are using other backported packages already. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
