Cherokee does not have deep dependencies, so apt-pinning might be enough for you. I'll explain in short, ask me to ellaborate if you feel it is needed. The «apt» suite can handle more than one set of packages with different priorities. If you want to get the latest Cherokee off unstable, you can make your /etc/apt/sources.list be: /------------------------------------------------------------ | deb http://ftp.mx.debian.org/debian/ lenny main | deb-src http://ftp.mx.debian.org/debian/ lenny main | | deb http://ftp.mx.debian.org/debian/ sid main | deb-src http://ftp.mx.debian.org/debian/ sid main \------------------------------------------------------------ And set your preferences to lenny in /etc/apt/preferences: /------------------------------------------------------------ | Package: * | Pin: release a=stable | Pin-priority: 900 | | Package: * | Pin: release a=unstable | Pin-priority: 200 \------------------------------------------------------------ Just make the pin-priority lower. Then, «aptitude update» to get the full lists, and install Cherokee from unstable: # aptitude -t unstable install cherokee In my case, that pulls newer versions of libssl-dev, libssl0.9.8 and mysql-common to fulfill dependencies. Of course, this _might_ break other packages depending on those specific versions, but it is not very likely. As a side note, I suggest you to use testing («squeeze») instead of unstable. It will result in new packages appearing usually ten days later, but at least it will save your systems from me uploading something b0rken (which _has_ happened).
