Dear all,

Currently I'm setting up my Karmic based headless home server. I've
installed the transmission-daemon bittorrent client package to be used
with the Transmission web interface.

I would like to use the lucid package (version 1.83) in stead of the
karmic package (version 1.75), because Transmission supports moving
finished files to a different directory since version 1.80 (see
http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1483)

Probably I will update the box to 10.04 LTS and keep it on that for some years.

The idea of compiling transmission-daemon myself does't warm me. Is it
possible to achieve this with some apt pinning, and could somebody
supply me instructions?

Thanks,

Corné
