Do you know how to build breezy packages in hoary? Sometimes it's a real pain, but usually it's too easy. add to /etc/apt/sources.list deb-src http://mirror.isp.net.au/ftp/pub/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get build-dep nedit apt-get source nedit cd nedit-5.5 dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us -rfakeroot (you might need to sudo apt-get install fakeroot first) cd .. and if you're lucky, you should have a deb you can install with sudo dpkg -i nedit_5.5-?.deb -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
