- <title>Using <literal>backports.org</literal> packages</title>
- <para>
- <literal>backports.org</literal> is a semi-official repository
- provided by &debian; developers, which provides newer packages for
- the stable release, based on a rebuild from the packages from the
- <quote>testing</quote> archive.
- </para>
- <para>
- The <literal>backports.org</literal> repository mainly contains packages
- from <quote>testing</quote>, with reduced version numbers
- so that the upgrade path from &oldreleasename; backports to
- &releasename; still works. However, there are a few backports
- which are made from unstable: security updates, plus the following
- exceptions: Firefox, the Linux kernel, OpenOffice.org, and X.Org.
- </para>
- <para>
- If you do not use one of these exceptions, you can safely upgrade
- to &releasename;. If you use one of these exceptions, set the
- <literal>Pin-Priority</literal> (see <citerefentry> <refentrytitle>apt_preferences</refentrytitle> <manvolnum>5</manvolnum> </citerefentry>)
- temporarily to <literal>1001</literal> for all packages from &releasename;,
- and you should be able to do a safe dist-upgrade too.
