What ever gets done for Backports should also be done for Proposed.
Users should be able to easily test updates available on Proposed, knowing
right then that does are Testing packages.

Where is the documentation for this feature ? I do not remember finding on
the APT manual..
Will it cause the packages already installed from the backports repo
Wow, never knew about NotAutomatic -- that sounds great!

This does not necessarily need pinning via /etc/apt/preferences. Apt has
a feature which does something similar. Please compare

Let's imagine that somebody has an interest in just the latest version
of blender on his stable system. That user does not want to upgrade to
all packages available in the backports repository, but just the
backported version of blender.

Backports so far have been marketed/branded as Backports, and on
Launchpad and the Wiki are both referred to as Backports. If we want to
change the name of the project to facilitate user familiarity, it has to
be done across the board. The project is fueled primarily by user input

There's obviously a need for a new infrastructure/UI. Since GDebi and
apt-url are to be disabled in future versions (which I approve of), we
should find a way to allow the user to select trusted repositories and
easily install software from there, either on a
replace-alla-installed-packages basis o

Hello,
about the UI, there is already a specification which cover most of the
requirements:

The pinning support is described but not implemented, I did exchange several
mails with the GApti author in order to motivate him to implement the
pinning, I have failed
No, IMO the UI, underneath, should be adding the entire backports repository,
just all packages pinned back. A UI should be able to unpin specific versions
of each backport to let it through, but not let through other backports unless
needed to satisfy dependences...
An apturl approach would requi
What about getdeb with apturl? It can remove the external repositorys
from sources.list after you install from there if you wish. Maybe it can
be modified to do so automatically?
