I have unstable and experimental enabled in sources.list, and on /etc/apt/apt.conf I have the line APT::Default-Release "unstable";
As you see bellow, experimental is given a priority of 1, and I think it is against common sense.
If I *consciously* install a package from experimental, I would like to *be aware of, and upgrade to, all the updates that come into experimental* before the package comes into unstable. When the package comes into unstable, apt will forget about the experimental version of the package.
By the way, the experimental release of debian-multimedia.org is given a priority of 500 and I find it OK. What I do not understand is the priority 1 for the experimental release of the official Debian packages.

When the package comes into >unstable, apt will forget about the experimental version of the package. Apt won't forget about this package. It will show new candidate from experimental if you call 'apt-cache show'. Last apt-show-versions package will consider update to experimental package. Debian unstable also has 'daptup' utility which will help you track package updates (and from experimental) better. >By the way, the experimental release of debian-multimedia.org is given a >priority of 500 and I find it OK. What I do not understand is the priority 1 >for the experimental release of the official Debian packages. Experimental is experimental. Every new update from experimental can break the whole system - thus upgrade to any experimental version of package (and from previous experimental version too) cannot be considered automatic. I'm closing this bug. Reopen if you objects. -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin aka JackYFAttachment: signature.asc
