Formula for ftp access to unstable tree
I had been following the stable tree for quite a while and decided I wanted to
follow unstable now, but I am having trouble finding the formula to give to
dselect to both get the right Packages files and to actually get the files I
want.
I want to know how to answer the questions for dselect Access -- ftp method.
(I access ftp.debian.org)
Before when it asked for directory I put
debian
and for distributinos
stable non-free contrib
I have tried:
debian
unstable non-free contrib
but obviously that doesn't access the unstable contrib/non-free tree;
If I just do:
debian
unstable
I don't have the unstable contrib/non-free tree either;
My latest attempt (after looking at the directory tree some):
debian/dists/unstable
main non-free contrib
And that works well to get the right Packages files, but when it goes to
actually download and install the files I've chosen all the choices come back
with an error that it cannot find the directory or file.
I am sure someone has a working formula and that I have missed something
obvious. Thanks for your help.
