Dear Debian R users, This is more of an apt question rather than R. I have a testing Debian system, but would like to use the unstable packages for R, *without* using the -t flag in apt-get. I think this is done by using a 'pin' rule in /etc/apt/apt.conf, but don't understand how this should be done. Can somebody provide an example please? Cheers, -- Seb

Beats me, but I'd use it too if I knew how to :)
