1) you may try backports, may be your software already backported and available on debian 10. If software backported - quick and easy way. 2) you may backport software by self (get sources, sometimes fix debian/* in sources dir, build package) -- my preffered way to take new software before debian testing not frozen. 3) you may set repos from debian 11 and install software AND dependencies - your debian will be partially upgraded and some another soft may be broken. Don't recommend this way, system may be broken and need reinstall in worst case. 4) you may upgrade to debian 11. If you does not see your software in backports and can't build package - use this way. -- Stanislav
