Hi! B. Bell (maximill@u.washington.edu): > 2) Track everything in unstable, but only try to upgrade a package if > a) the user requests to have the package upgraded > b) another package depends on the new version I use this workaround: Usually I have unstable commented out in sources.list. If I want to install a single package from slink re-add it to sourcec.list, run "apt-get update && apt-get install <package>" remove it from sources.list and rerun "apt-get update". It's not perfect, since new packages from slink are listed as orphaned, but I can live with it. Rainer -- KeyID=58341901 fingerprint=A5 57 04 B3 69 88 A1 FB 78 1D B5 64 E0 BF 72 EB
