Hello group,

there are already a couple of howtos on this topic, unfortunately most
of them are a bit complicated, at least for less experienced users.

The following worked fine for me:

1. create the file "/etc/apt/preferences" with the following content:

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=testing
Pin-Priority: 400

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian,a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 500

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -1

2. Include the repository testing or/and unstable in your file "/etc/
apt/sources.list", for example with the following additional lines

deb http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/debian/ unstable main contrib non-
free
deb-src http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/debian/ unstable main contrib
non-free

(The section for testing in /etc/apt/preferences is obsolete if you don
´t include the testing repository as well)

3. Don´t forget "apt-get update" ;-)

4. Install Tryton with "apt-get install tryton-server". If you want to
install the client on the same machine, first check the version
numbers - mixing server 1.4 with client 1.2 will give you trouble.

5. At least the calendar module uses "python-vobject" and "python-
psycopg2". They exist in stable, but in buggy versions, so you have to
install them manually with "apt-get -t testing install python-vobject"
and "apt-get -t testing install python-psycopg2" - dependencies are
resolved by apt as usual.

After the configuration of database- and config-files Tryton should be
ready for use (some fine tuning on preferences could be usefull
anyway).

Any comments and improvements appreciated
