This is really a good and comprehensive article. Some further questions: In order to get all stable, testing and unstable from the same server, I read that the the deb source line should be altered (but no how). Could you give us an example? > Package: * > Pin: release a=stable > Pin-Priority: 900 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=testing > Pin-Priority: 60 > > Package: * > Pin: release a=unstable > Pin-Priority: 60 > [...] > It should also get Woody's packages off the > CDs instead of the internet whenever possible. Can you explain this a bit please? The first line of my /etc/apt/sources.list (testing) is deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main. I think to pick cdrom first, you have to give sarge/woody the top priority, right? > You can also set the following line in /etc/apt/apt.conf, but I didn't > find it essential when I was using it: > > APT::Default-Release "stable"; Interesting, that was what the article I was reading suggested... > Also, there were a couple of large library upgrades between Woody and > Sarge (testing), such as libc6. How big the difference is between testing and unstable? Anybody knows? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
