I'm (still) using a "hybrid" setup along those lines; it seems to work fine, though you need to take some care to ensure that you always get official packages. With the old autobuilder shut off, I believe the following should be sufficient: - Run apt-cache clean to get rid of unofficial binaries. - Give unofficial packages a lower priority in /etc/apt/preferences: Explanation: Discount the unofficial amd64 archive, as the official Explanation: archive is finally starting to gain amd64 binary packages. Package: * Pin: release l=Debian AMD64 archive Pin-Priority: 300 - For good measure, also list them later in your sources.list. Also, be advised that most of the old archive's binary-only rebuilds have been superseded; here's the code I use to determine what needs "downgrading": #unofficial=unofficial package lists (filenames) #official=official package lists grep-dctrl -n -sPackage -FVersion -e '\+b[0-9]+$' $unofficial | \ sed -e 's/^/\^/; s/[.+]/\\\\&/g; s/$/\$~S~i~V\\\\+b[0-9]+$/' | \ xargs --no-run-if-empty aptitude -F '%p' search | \ sed -e 's/^/\^Package: /; s/[.+]/\\&/; s/ *$/\$/' > bin-nmu-patterns grep-dctrl -sPackage ! -FVersion -e '\+b[0-9]+$' $official | \ grep -Ehf bin-nmu-patterns | \ sed -e 's/^Package: /\^/; s/[.+]/\\\\&/g; s/$/\$~i/' | \ xargs --no-run-if-empty aptitude -F '%p =%V#' search | \ sed -ne 's/ *//g; s/+b[0-9]*$//p' -- Aaron M.
