Re: Install with some packages from stable and some from testing

["Mark Lanett" <mlanett@parrotchat.net>]

What seems to work best is to 
(a) install the version of apt from woody
(b) install an apt/preferences file (preferring potato over woody)
(c) put both potato and woody lines in sources.list
(d) mix and match as you wish (e.g. apt-get install samba/woody)

My /etc/apt/preferences file:

Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 600

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 300
