Yes,

Anyway, if you add only testing... you should get an error like "dependency X is needed but it is not installable" when trying to install a package in testing. Of course, this implies that the package you try to install from testing has a dependency from unstable repo, I don't know the grass dependencies by heart.

So on the new machine I should add both ubuntugis-unstable AND
ubuntugis-testing?

    Guys,

    For your information, the ubuntugis-testing PPA has
    ubuntugis-unstable as a dependencies. I've always used the testing
    ppa to put custom version of a softwares. So a user have to add both
    repositories to get everything working. Since there is not many
    packages in testing... I think someone can easily setup the testing
    ppa, install the new software... and remove/downgrade the packages
    if they want.

    Would be cool if someone could document this in the wiki. Let me
    know if you need any permissions.

    Thanks,
    Alan

        Yes mixing repos could lead to some issues. There are several
        ways around:
        1. use a virtual machine or other machine to keep them separate (1a
        would be a chroot)
        2. use apt-pinning to select and keep the versions of particular
        things
        a certain way, some dependencies may break with this method.

        Option 1a while complicated would let you use multiple versions
        at the
        same time without VM overhead.

        Enjoy,
        Alex

                I think its possible because version numbers are different.

                GRASS GIS in ubuntu-testing is grass70, grass70-dev. but
                if grass70 is
                said to replace grass then only the last installed will
                be taken.

                Maybe other in the list have better answers :)

                    An Elementary questions about ubuntugis PPAs. Is it
                    possible to have
                    separated installations of Ubuntugis-unstable and
                    Ubuntugis-testing? Or is
                    it simplest to create a virtuall-machine and run it
                    separated?

                    Cheers

                        Hi All,

                        I dont weather you are getting updates on new
                        packages added to PPA
                        ubuntugis-testing. I had uploaded GRASS GIS
                        7.0(svn54570) and OSSIM
                        (svn2201). If someone can test that would be great
