Hi, Thanks for your response.
I just wanted to register an interest. I would be happy to use the 2.6 branch in buster, but I can't see it in synaptic. Are you suggesting I could move from buster (testing) to sid (unstable) ? Can I add the sid repositories to buster without moving to sid completely? Apologies for my ignorance.
