I now Hi Rob, that is one of the founding prinipals of Debian - dont hide stuff from our user: 'Open' bugs, 'Open' source, etc. If only this point could get made in a persusaive way to the windows-using people and why it is better. One can only dream. > have new questions: > > * how will the libapache2-mod-fastcgi land in testing? all bugs (more or less) get fixed and the resulting package is sent into unstable. It gets user tested. And goes into testing 10 days later. more or less. This is dependant upon more factors which can make it take less time or more time. Ask if you want more gorey details :-) > > * how can I tell aptitude to install only that specific module from > unstable? (by reading > http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-package.en.html, I learnt > that the man from apt-preferences has the answer) One way is to use the '-t' flag. e.g. apt-get -t testing bash this will install bash but using only packages from 'testing'. I am not sure if this should be 'testing' or 'etch' or if there is a differnce. so YMMV and try both.
