As a desktop user I always tend to keep a global pin for all my packages. You know, Debian is so good and so great that I love to pin and use packages from multiple places. Here's my apt pin settings: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/apt/preferences Explanation: Debian Testing Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing Pin-Priority: 990 Explanation: Debian Unstable Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable Pin-Priority: 550 Explanation: Debian Experimental Package: * Pin: release o=Debian,a=experimental Pin-Priority: 350 Explanation: Unofficial Debian Multimedia package by Christian Marillat Package: * Pin: origin www.debian-multimedia.org Pin-Priority: 250 On my laptop this is what I use. A mixture of all. KDE 3.5.6 was a good example. When it was in experimental, I did an `apt-get -t experimental install kde` to switch KDE to experimental. Now when (the freeze is over) and the devs re-upload KDE to unstable, the version number for KDE increases in unstable. And thus the packages get _upgraded_ from unstable. Do keep in mind that if you do a "-t release", the package keeps getting followed in that particular release unless a different release which has a higher pin priority gets a higher version of the same package. Again KDE is an example :-) HTH, Ritesh -- If possible, Please CC me when replying. I'm not subscribed to the list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
