How would I upgrade php, mysql, and apache for debian

[phantomk]

I want to keep apache2, php4 (currently have 4.3.X, I wish to update to 4.4.1) and mysql up-to-date on the latest releases, but I don't want to fully upgrade my entire system. How would I go about this ?

My current server was setup useing the debian sarge perfect setup.

Run

apt-get update
apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 libapache2-mod-perl2 php4 php4-cli php4-common php4-curl php4-dev php4-domxml php4-gd php4-imap php4-ldap php4-mcal php4-mhash php4-mysql php4-odbc php4-pear php4-xslt curl libwww-perl imagemagick

Please run one apt command at a time. apt doesn't like it when you paste all the commands together on the shell...

I have php, mysql, and apache already installed, wouldn't what you are suggesting return a message stateing that they are already installed ?

Would I have to change my current soruces.list to say unstable, then do

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient12-dev
apt-get upgrade apache2 apache2-doc
apt-get upgrade libapache2-mod-php4 libapache2-mod-perl2 php4 php4-cli php4-common php4-curl php4-dev php4-domxml php4-gd php4-imap php4-ldap php4-mcal php4-mhash php4-mysql php4-odbc php4-pear php4-xslt curl libwww-perl imagemagick

I tried upgradeing through apt-get before, but all I got was a OS reinstall :S

Have you tried what falko posted, it works!

If you run apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade it will upgrade your system. If you use apt-get install, apt will install the package and if it is already installed apt will look if there are newer packages and makes an update.

I tried it, returned:

*** is already the newest version.

Which is what I expected it to do :S

What I wish to do is upgrade php, mysql, apache2 to the latest releases, while keeping the rest of my systemt back, through apt-get. If you look at my previous post you will see that I am useing stable sources, do I have to change this or can I just specify which version I want ? How would I specify a specific version to upgrade to ?
