well, isn't this a bit stupid? i mean, to get new MORE STABLE versions i have to use the UNSTABLE tree? why aren't stable packages for the unstable tree moved to the potato tree? am i dammned to use years old unstable software packages until woody is released next year? can i use single woody packets (e.g. licq) on a potato base without problems? and what should i do to do so? i mean, if i only want to update licq but remain in the potato tree for every other package. i know i still have to learn a lot but hey.. that's why i'm here :)
