| Jul 25, 2014 at 13:56 | comment | added | Frank Thomas | well, you set your sources in /etc/apt/sources.list. see more details here: wiki.debian.org/SourcesList here is info on configuring to read from the unstable repos: binarytides.com/enable-testing-repo-debian | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 12:35 | comment | added | Mike H-R | @FrankThomas Actually, sorry, that doesn't work for me, how do I set apt-get to install from packages.debian.org/sid/emacs24? | |
| Jul 25, 2014 at 12:27 | comment | added | Mike H-R | @FrankThomas Thank you, so you can install packages from sid (which if I understand right is the unstable package repository, right?) with a normal debian distro? brilliant, that is pretty much what I was trying to figure out how to do. Thanks. Is that the only source for normal user packages in debian? If so then put that as an answer and I'd accept it. Thanks. | |

sudo apt-get install emacs24 packages.debian.org/sid/emacs24 Apt is the repository tool for debian distros, and works rather well overall (far better than the experiences I've had with yum). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Packaging_Tool
