Hello Guys.

We are installing 9 servers with Debian but we want to use PHP5 and
MySQL5. Those packages are not in stable, so what options do we have. We
are thinking in dotdeb.org. What dou you think about that.

Those solutions are stable enough?

I will apreciate any FeedBack.

Hi:

I'm running Sarge (Stable) as well. MySQL 5/PHP 5 are available via
backports. Put the following into your sources list;

'deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main'

And in 'etc/apt' create a "preferences" file, and add the following to
it;

Package: *
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 200

Package: php5*
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

Package: mysql
Pin: release a=sarge-backports
Pin-Priority: 999

This should allow you to get the versions of both that you require.
