Which is where branches like in debian help you. There are some problems |
| 8 |
however. A big one is dependencies e.g. packages A and B use package C, |
| 9 |
and need a specific version. A and B of stable use C version 1.2 and |
| 10 |
the ones in devel 2.0. Now you want to use the devel version of A on |
| 11 |
your stable system and have to use the devel versions of A, B and C. |
| 12 |
Replace C with e.g. gtk and you see the problem. |
