I looked in the APT tutorial and also in a book but I could not find an
answer to this problem.
I want to get a source package from the "testing" release, not from
"stable", so I did this:
apt-get -t testing source <packagename>
It does not seem to work. Is there a way to do this without temporarily
modifying the sources.list in order to get the desired sources?
Try apt-get source packagename=1.2.3-4 use whatever the version number is
for testing.
I didn't think of that one. I have my system pinned and I have stable,
unstable, and testing sources (deb-src) in my sources.list and also some
unofficial sources such as backports and debian-multimedia, but 'apt-get -t
<release> source <package>' wasn't working. I had to remove all deb-src
lines except those I needed and then copy from a backup file when I was done
getting the source packages.
thanks
