Joris,
Thanks for the tip, I'm working on it right now, but was just wondering
if you know of a "clean" way of doing this. currently, i'm planing on
removing x-org related packages, editing my sources.list to point to
sarge, then apt-get installing the xfree packages. however, when i
apt-get upgrade with sid repositories later, xfree will be replaced with
xorg due to the xserver-xorg transitional package.
so, is there a way to stop a certian package from being upgraded?
thanks,
Matt
At least with aptitude you can indicate a package must be kept in it's
current version; unfortunately, I do not know how to do this with
dpkg/apt-get (I think it's probably done by apt-get in some way, but I
haven't found how to tell apt-get to do that, manually)
(Though I hope the post on xfree86 drivers in xorg will help you find a
way to do it in xorg -- it will be less work, you'll be using pure-sid
etc ;-) )
HTH,
Joris
