Hi Dirk, Since we are only talking about approximately 294 source packages to rebuild, isn't that something that you could do on your own machine? Typically with sbuild and a setup-script that does: #!/bin/bash set -e -x echo deb http://127.0.0.1:12990/debian experimental main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list cat <<-EOF > /etc/apt/preferences.d/pin Package: src:gsl Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental Pin-Priority: 999 EOF apt-get update apt-get -y dist-upgrade Best, Lucas
