It's not trivial. I think your best bet is this: compose an /etc/apt/sources.list.stable and one for unstable write a quick script that does this: cp /etc/apt/sources.list.stable /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get dist-upgrade cp /etc/apt/sources.list.unstable /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get install <list of packages you want from unstable> (apt-get install will upgrade the packages specified and its dependancies) Note that the unstable version can haul with it a lot of dependancies. Also, this is untested and off the top of my head, but I think it should work. I'm considering doing this with testing/unstable myself on one of my servers at work. -- Zachary M. Loafman
