I believe so. There are some debian source building tools and mepis archives are usable perhaps best with pinning. I plan to experiment with the latter but have no experience of it. I pinned experimental debians firefox but it broke after a few updates. I expect mepis repos to actually be more workable as they use the stable base and bild new packages. Incidentally. I do wonder if debian stable should accelerate some packages which follow a more stable dev cycle like xfce-4.10 where it has already been well tested. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
