Hello, currently, I have a problem with frozen etch: In mid november, I filed a bug report to kdevelop (the bug was about debugging problems) which was fixed at the end of january. Thanks to the maintainer for that !
But the bug is fixed in kdevelop 4:3.4.0-1 which won't come into etch (Quote from debian-release) : "As this is a new minor upstream release, we will not unfreeze this package." Great. So I have a bugfix for a problem that really drives us crazy here but it won't come into the etch distribution. As I see it, I have these possibilities: 1) Don't insist on etch (stable). Just stay with testing and wait until testing isn't frozen anymore. I won't do this because of several reasons (takes too long, I don't want testing any more and so on ) 2) Use apt pinning. I have no experience with this. Won't that mean that in the long run I will draw the whole KDE stuff from testing into stable ? 3) Compile from source. Hmmm. No problem. Would (IMHO) mean to install lots of *-dev packages, but that's ok... 4) Anything I didn't think of... Now I'm sure that some people here have similar problems. What would you do, what advice can you give ?
