OK - I'm currently running a mixed testing/unstable distribution based on the information in the apt-howto document. Works well. I could use some advice from the list though :)
This was to get certain specific packages (hmm - I have 53 unstable of 1587 total - which is more than I expected - but appears to be due to dependencies). This was to get certain functionality where I was actually suffering from bugs fixed in unstable that were preventing some things from working. However - I have no real wish to stay on a mixed dist forever. Just wondering - to get back to testing - is it enough to wait for those packages I have that are unstable to make it to testing and so remove unstable from my sources.list? If so - what is the easiest way to ascertain that this has in fact happened? If not - what is the best way forward? Note - I have no problem waiting until they reach testing - as long as I can avoid installing more unstable than necessary - with the aim to return to a plain testing dist as soon as that occurs. I do not think that there are any more packages that I _need_ the unstable version for - so I don't know if I should just remove the unstable sources now - and then wait until the version number in testing is higher than the version numbers on these packages as installed.
