I have been tracking testing for the longest time, but I would like to be able to get up-to-date mozilla and galeon packages from unstable.
As I understand it, /etc/apt/preferences can help me with this. I can add entries for both releases in sources.list, and then set priorities to keep packages that I've installed from unstable up to date, while using testing as the source for other packages. I think that all I need is this: Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 101 The idea here is that, testing gets an automatic priority of 989. If any package could be upgraded to either a testing or an unstable version, testing will win. If a package version is already higher than the testing version, the unstable version will win (unless unstable is below 100 or testing is 1000 or higher). Is this correct? The reason that I ask is, having done this, when I try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, it wants to update a number of packages, like binutils, gimp1.2, groff, klogd, and perl, to unstable versions. Any ideas why this might be? Have I misunderstood how priorities work? Any insights would be appreciated. -- Dave Steinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
