No, but some of the ideas outlined in those bug reports sound rather good, being able to select both a debian dist and a set of sources for the installation candiates is usefull. To do this would not be terribly difficult, it would need a change of the format of the sources.list to have sections and it would need changes to the souce list parser and storage mechanism. Then you'd need to create a new vesion selection routine and slot it into the cache and bind it to some configuration variables and presto :> To do that the GetCandiateVersion function would have to be modified to call a function/class so it can be modified without subclassing it. Not too difficult, the tricky part is the new sectional source list format, that would have to be carefully selected. Jason
