If you build against a library version that is no longer in unstable, then you may have issues in testing when a new library tries to migrate into testing -- cause nowhere would there be packages built against the new library version. Not to mention that unstable would become unviable as a distribution -- the run time libs may not be the ones that are needed by the packages in unstable. > Okay, that's what t-p-u is roughly for, but the fact is that it's > quite painful. Could you elaborate on that? Why is it so painful? manoj -- Keep cool, but don't freeze.
