31 Notice that I said "_non_-live" and the "<" char in the line. I would
32 use the stanza (as you said)
33 because if 1.4.0 is not stabilized before something like 1.4.1 is added
34 to tree, and 1.4.0 gets
35 deleted, you are facing the same problem all over again.
36 As in, <xfce-extra/xfce4-power-manager-9999 with the < means "I want
37 latest non-live version."
