Actually, Craig's list includes stable and unstable sources. Just
comment out the unstable ones if you want and leave only the
stable ones uncommented. I use that list (or something close to it)
all the time. Just make sure you have the appropriate sites
commented out or uncommented. Okeedoke?
That way, if you want that new xchat 1.6, uncomment the woody
sources and do
apt-get update
apt-get install xchat
It should install the latest version of xchat for you available on the
woody tree (it may or may not be xchat 1.6 and it may have other
dependencies as mentioned in a previous reply to your post).
