Don't do this. testing is the worst choice when you have to worry about security. Security-wise, stable is best (the security team taking care of it). unstable is next since the package maintainer can upload security updates. These security updates take at least three days until they migrate to testing, leaving you vulnerable in the mean time. If you absolutely must have later versions of certain packages than in stable, take the unstable package and try building them on a stable system (effectively backporting them). Then track them yourself, security wise. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
