The implications of installing from the unstable release
I am keen to try out the 'subversion' version control program for which
there is a package in the unstable pool. After having read the apt-howto
it appears that the best way to do this would be to add lines such as
> deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
to my sources.list file and specify
> APT::Default-Release "testing";
in apt.conf.
Are there any gotcha's I should be aware of in doing this. for instance,
what happens when there is a more recent version of a package in unstable
and I 'apt-get upgrade'? What happens when a package migrates from
unstable to testing?
