I'd like to selectively upgrade some packages in Debian lenny (stable)
to the versions currently in the testing release.
Here's what I've done:
1. Made sure sources.list has deb and deb-src entries for both
lenny and testing.
2. Added 'APT::Default-Release "5.0*";' to /etc/apt/apt.conf.
Now I want to do "aptitude -t testing install pkg1 pkg2 pkgN".
Is that the best practice for such things? I've read a bit about doing
pinning in /etc/apt/preferences, but that didn't seem to provide the
right package set when I ran apt-get in test (-s) mode.
