It's in stable and I use it whenever I have to compile something from source. Only thing you have to do is $ ./configure; make # make install prefix=/usr/local/stow/app-ver # cd /usr/local/stow # stow app-ver stow will symlink all files to /usr/local and you have the benefit of a program file directory ;-). > But checkinstall is in testing. How can i apt-get it without > having to set up all that pinning stuff? (i'm only set up > for stable). apt pinning is your friend ;-) add following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://your.favourite.mirror.com/debian/ testing main non-free contrib add file /etc/apt/apt.conf and add: APT::Default-Release "stable"; then you should run: # apt-get update # apt-get install checkinstall/testing For checkinstall, this should work fine.
