I've just Installed Debian Testing.I want to apt pin Squeeze and Sid(testing and unstable).
I want to have testing along with packages from unstable also installed with almost equal priority hopefully not breaking the system.
few years back,I tried running unstable and experimental apt-pinned and it was such a mess with daily huge updates.
I don't want such a mess.
My Plan is to Apt Pinn:
- Debian Squeeze,Debian Squeeze-proposed-updates given maximum priority
- Debian Sid/Unstable given slightly less Priority.
There is a testing-proposed-updates repository also with Debian Squeeze.
Checked your(falko) How to and Below is How My /etc/apt/preferences File Looks like:
Code:
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing-proposed-updates
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 650
And here ,the Other Files:
/etc/apt/apt.conf:
Code:
APT::Cache-Limit "100000000";
APT::Default-Release "testing";
and /etc/apt/sources.list :
Code:
