How Debian users can know there is a new version in experimental? There are some messages in debian-devel, or blogs on planet, but not all users or developers are reading them. Is there a command that can display the list of packages I'm using with a version on experimental higher than the current version on unstable? (I'm willing to test some experimental packages, but on a case by case basis, not by pinning up experimental) Best Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
