Re: Updating without Apt



Andrew Gray writes:
I love Debian. I love apt. The Debian/Apt combination has allowed me to use
software I would have never before dreamed to be possible to use. I'm quite
content with my system at the moment. My problem comes when a piece of
software that I use with frequency is updated by the developers in a major
way. The Debian repositories do not reflect this change, and likely won't
for some time.

The software in question is emacs22.

toncho/~ apt-cache madison emacs
emacs | 22.0.99+1-1 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org experimental/main Packages
emacs | 21.4a+1-5 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
emacs21 | 21.4a+1-5 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Sources
emacs22 | 22.0.99+1-1 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org experimental/main Sources
