Package: gnote Severity: normal Hello all,
thanks to Debian manual (package management and pinning) I was able to install gnote from unstable under testing without collateral damage. I report the tip here in the hope it will be usefull for other users and testers : 1)Add a line for unstable in your /etc/apt/sources.list copy and modify the one for testing 2)Create a /etc/apt/preferences file with this content : Package: gnote Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 500 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 200 3)Use aptitude : update, search for gnote, install it. it installs/upgrades somewhat 5 dependancies. 4)Revert /etc/apt/preferences back to a sane testing state by commenting the unstable line with a # sign. 5)Result : enjoy gnote ; your testing system is almost unchanged and aptitude sees 1 strange package (gnote). Have fun using, testing, documenting, hacking Debian...
