best way to use a package from unstable in stable...

I am running 3.1 stable & logrotate 3.7-5 as included with stable.  Unstable now has 3.7.1-1 which has some date logic in it that I really want.  The package has dependencies that aren't included in stable.  Is there a recommended way that I can get the newer version of the package into my

Properly setup your /etc/apt/preferences file to include JUST that package from unstable. When Sarge was in testing I wanted to use the firestarter package from unstable. This was my /etc/apt/preferences file for using all packages from testing, and the single package from unstable: Package: * P

I get ~10 C difference, between athcool on and off! Can´t live without it. Even watching movies or tv it makes difference. Those nasty warnings apply mostly to experimental support for some chipsets. I never had problems. Alan Ianson wrote: On Tue August 30 2005 05:40 am, Bruno Buys wrote:

Re:OT: Who will switch to (or at least try out) Opera now that they have free registrations?

My main reason for not using Opera is the lack of extensions. I can't live without Adblock now. I do like the text browser emulation and the User-mode in Opera though. I do suppose you could do the same thing in Firefox with a Greasemonkey script...-- "If practice makes perfect, and no one is perfe

non-determinate program execution in perl

Security Upgrade Overwrites MySQL Config

I have MySQL 4.1 running in Sarge. The other day I did a security upgrade on MySQL and it overwrote the server's my.cnf. The only change it made was to the basedir, but that was a huge change since the server was trying to use a non-existent database. After a little checking I discovered the pr
