1. In your /etc/apt folder create a file called "preferences" which looks
something like this
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 600
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 650
What do the numbers represent? Do I need to add the first entry which
has "a=unstable" even though I run testing?
2. If you want something from Sid (unstable) then do this:
aptitude -t unstable install <name of package you want from Sid>
What if I want to do it in testing not unstable? I run only testing (lenny?)
That's it. aptitude (apt-get) will default to testing unless you specify
otherwise.
Ah, but I don't use aptitude I just use apt-get on command line. :-)
Thanks,
