Frankly, I've never seen any risk using the unstable tree. I've used it for 3 years and will continue.Thanks Brandon.
My next question is whether there are any risks involved with using the unstable tree.
Are the packages in fact unstable?Not at all. There are only there because they are newer and subsequently there are not a bunch of users who have reported they work fine.
Nobody seems to report any problems with the unstable tree, and the criterion for moving clamAV to the stable tree recently was the fact that a few us inquired about it.The problem is users like reporting problems, not reporting good behaviour. As the move to stable depends on good reports...
So, is it better to use the unstable tree?
In my opinion, yes it is. You'll have the best of the applications.
And, yes, updating (rsync) the unstable tree did reveal that the latest abiword version is 2.0.6-1. So, I guess the question is how long is "very slowly"? More than a minute?
With rsync, depending on the mirror you use, it may take a day.
