> > What are the dangers of using packages from both stable and testing?
Okay... I got told by someone on this list: (a) that it is system suicide, and (b) that the fact that it is system suicide is well-documented in many places with ample dire warnings in 384 languages including Martian. But I haven't been able to find any such warnings yet, and nobody answered my "Where does it say that?" question. One thing I *am* certain of, is that if you are running one release, the risk increases proportionally with the number of additional other-release packages that get sucked in with whatever you tried to load from the other release. However, even so, it only takes *one* infernal incompatibility to land you back at the command prompt with X11 whining like a bad alternator bearing, or worse yet trying to resurrect your system via CD-ROM... (Nonetheless, I'd still like to know where all the fabled and legendary DON'T DO THIS warnings are) (especially the one written in Martian) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
