View Full Version : Alternate (untested?) repositories

Hi folks, I'm relatively new to ubuntu and debian, so sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have a Breezy server install. Unfortunately I need a couple pieces of software a little more modern than the included packages; MySQL 5.0 and Apache 2.1 (or 2.2).

Is there a way of specifying an alternative package repository for apt-get that would pull packages from a more modern branch, something like debian-etch-testing or whatever the next ubuntu release will be?

Thanks,
Jeff
