This is a really cool idea, but I can't get it working for me.
I want to run "testing" for most things, but grab selected packages (mainly
KDE) from "unstable". My setup looks like this:
,--- /etc/apt/preferences ---
| Package: *
| Pin: release a=testing
| Pin-Priority: 900
|
| Package: *
| Pin: release a=unstable
| Pin-Priority: 50
,--- /etc/apt/sources.list ---
| deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian testing main contrib non-free
| deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian testing/non-US main contrib
non-free
|
| deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian unstable main contrib non-free
| deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/pub/debian unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
But, when I "apt-get upgrade", it's trying to ungrade me to "unstable"
versions of everything. What am I doing wrong??
