Thank you for you answer. However I have a feeling that you
misunderstood me.
I am already apt-pinning to testing and this works fine. However I
feel that testing is not enough for me, because the security team does
not produce fixes for testing. (At least it is seldom)
Instead I use the Debian website to discover if any of my programs has
a security problem. Whenever I discover a problem I upgrade the
insecure package to unstable
apt-get install insecure-package/unstable
I am getting a little tired of having to look at the Debian website
every day. Therefore I would like to configure apt in such a way that
I automatically update insecure packages to unstable. Is this
possible?
Thanks in advance
Niels
