[Tfug] backporting packages with Woody

[Scott Denlinger]

As Andre suggests, I am really interested in keeping the "base"
distribution as "stable", but stable doesn't have Apache2, MySQL 4.0,
Samba 3, etc., etc. So using backports would get me those without giving
up the security updates for Woody. Yesterday I did a dselect "dry run" specifying
"all" in my sources.list file, and I was surprised at the number of
packages that would have been backported. I'm very tempted to go ahead
and just let the backport debs update everything for which there's a
backport. Maybe this would be the same as just upgrading to testing,
since I'll essentially be giving up the security updates by backporting
everything.
