Do you mean upgrade to testing? Nobody gets a newer version by enabling backports in sources.list, you only get a newer version by using "apt-get -t ...".

I've published about it. For me it's a big point. And then comes Cyril who removes it at the last moment... Not OK in my opinion. With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
