I understand. I might give 1.2.6 shot.
I was actually working with the assumption that we could have
APT::Default-Release "edgy";
in /etc/apt/apt.conf and then add feisty mirrors to sources.list. This
way, I would still be updating and upgrading edgy but I could then
install a package from feisty using:
$> apt-get -t feisty install <package name>
I tried this, but the apt command then gives some error which says
something like "junk at the end of file" (apt.conf's end).
Anybody tried this method before?
