I'm tired of the stale nature of stable. Last weekend I upgraded to testing. I'm wondering what is the recommended method of dealing with security updates for testing?
DIY.
Should I downgrade and only upgrade the few packages that I want newer versions of, like mailman, spamassassin, and bind.
Better still, stick with stable + backports. You still have to watch out for security updates for packages you get from 3rd party sources, though.
Where can I learn about backports? Or is this another DIY? :)
While we're on the subject, I'd caution that "upgrade to testing" is probably a misnomer. What you've really done is volunteer to help test the next version of Debian in a very early pre-release stage. We all appreciate everyone who does help test, but if this wasn't your intention, you probably shouldn't be running on the testing branch.
Not really my intention.
