That's not quite true. It's perfectly possible to add additional resources to the sources.list and use package pinning; in fact with experimental packages won't be pulled in by default anyway. > So as it cannot goes into the official Lenny, we need someone who runs and > maintains the rt 3.8.x packages for Lenny. I will maintain packages in backports.org if necessary, but at the moment the packages in experimental work fine on lenny so there is no need to explicitly backport them. If that changes in the future I will ensure that there are working versions on backports.org (bear in mind that the lenny-backports repository isn't open yet). I'll try and maintain documentation for use of the packages on etch and lenny at <http://pkg-request-tracker.alioth.debian.org/>. I'm currently deploying rt3.8 using the packages in experimental on etch, and will do so on lenny at some point after the release, so I'm aware of the need to make sure they're installable.
