Is it possible to run an older pacakge in a newer release?

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to run an older version of a package in a newer release? The reason I ask is I would like to run the MythTV Frontend from the Gutsy release on Hardy so I can upgrade my desktop to Hardy. My MythTV server is still running Gutsy and I'm not ready to upgrade it yet. I'd like to upgrade my desktop first. :confused:

Thanks.

Axel

Darn, I was hoping someone would know if this is possible. I have used Prevu in the past to try packages from newer versions on older releases, and was wondering if there was a similar tool to do the opposite.

have you looked at backports.org?
They generally work the other way, with newer packages on older releases.
