nice thing, thanks!

but are there any ... sid-backports?
and another thing: I wouldn`t change the pinning yet because -as mentionable- i am on sid and not sure whether or not there are difficulties to be expected when changing the pinnig just the way you told us to...
any suggestions?

Not trying to be a jerk ... This thread has nothing to do w Sid though. Advise you to post a question in Off topic / General Chat section of the forums. Likely people will give you pointers.

Meanwhile ... STOP CRAPPING UP MY BABBLE HOW 2 with off-topic-ness ! tongue

Lmao ... Sir Ivan ... you are hijacking my babble too ! However you are always welcome to hijack whatever you choose Mi Amigo. Much respect to Ivan ... Ironically both Sir Ivan and myself much prefer good ole friggin Firefox ... more sighs.

German guy though ... start your own thread, stay on point and/or send me/others a PM. Feel bad about the above ... nor worthy anyway. Yeah would've answered a PM. Anyway ... shutting it now. Bad Sir Ivan ... BAD !!! Though you have carte blanche. big_smile

I'm getting rowdy ... so signing off until fit for human consumption.

ivanovnegro · 2013-06-30 21:08:25

Wanted to bump up your thread with my name, it sure will get more responses now. devil

Funny, I had a similar thread, it was wideley ignored it seems as people still cry for assistance to install Iceweasel. yikes

CBizgreat! · 2013-06-30 21:18:20

As it should Sir Ivan ... Yep ... much bytching haz been done about this ...

Invested more than a tad of time fact checking/etc. Was some guy/banger quasi insulting Machine ... that pushed me over the edge ... sighs. Mb + Ivan have invested A LOT here. Aka: Their time ... imo = time is the most precious thing a person haz. Sighs ... crap, Mb and Sir Ivan are #! old guard imo. Like much + respect them both mucho too.

Don't give a feck if they want to dance naked and howl @ the moon in the middle of Crunchville, will cheer them on. They dam well earned it (jmo). Am shutting da fig up now. Plan on listening to some CCR ( Credence Clearwater Rivival ) Lmao ... chances of getting this trainwreck thread stickied are long gone. It iz as it will be ... tongue

To add (maybe to the original post):

If you want bleeding edge it is better to not install from the experimental repo. Instead, change the repo you're pulling from in the Mozilla BPO.

For beta:

# Mozilla backport
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-beta

For aurora:

# Mozilla backport
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-aurora

The rest of the instructions are the same. Beta tends to be pretty stable but I haven't had good luck with aurora.

^ Actually, annoyingbeggar's suggestion gives you the option of the latest stable (iceweasel), beta (iceweasel-beta), or alpha (iceweasel-aurora); from what I've read, the Aurora build lags just behind the daily builds. I've been running Aurora for a couple weeks, and haven't noticed any issues...but then, I also haven't noticed any improvements over stable either. tongue

ivanovnegro · 2013-06-30 23:17:12

Actually the post is ok, it is for OP and is correct. The problem is when we begin to mix the branches. Sid works differently but you can use the same repo adjusted for Sid to have Beta/Aurora and btw, Aurora is damn stable and was always for me.

It just shows how confusing the Iceweasel thing is. wink

annoyingbeggar · 2013-06-30 23:21:37

ivanovnegro · 2013-06-30 23:30:44

^ Damn, so much lagging. That is now interesting and is what I mean by the Iceweasel confusion.

But do not forget, I spoke mostly about Debian's regular Experimental, not from the Debian Mozilla backports if you just want the stable (currently at version 22) release on Sid. More confusion! big_smile

Bizzy, you should summarize all the possibilities, how and from where to install and upgrade to all the releases of Iceweasel on Debian and add it for all branches of Debian.

Drunken offtopic babble edit: 4 being drunken and offtopic *facepalm.

Well except the part about liking Pvsage ... leaving that. wink

^ Haven't been following this thread ... lol turned into a trainwreck thanks in large part to my own comments. tongue

Yeah ... add the mozilla backport to sources.list. They are two different repo's ... Latest iceweasel + depends will be found in the Mozilla repo. "Tracking" backports ... not so sure about. The backports as far as I understand it are meant for people using Debian stable who want to cherry pick newer apps they want/need. Isn't really meant to be used for an all out upgrade rampage.

Would install anything you want from backports with "sudo apt-get install -t etcetcetc" Unless some repo is set ridiculously high (aka ... 1001 or higher < for whatever reason someone felt that needed.) It'll install the app you want + it's dependencies from the software repo you've selected. Notice you're using aptitude ... don't really know much about it ... Have always used apt, I'm sure it has the same capabilities and equivalent commands to use for "sudo apt-get install -t repoUwant packageUwant".

Once a package is manually installed, should upgrade no problems with "apt-get upgrade or apt-get dist-upgrade" in future. The vm I tested on did ... Upgraded IW from v 21.0 to 22.0 and depends when it came out and didn't upgrade anything else. That being things I wouldnt've wanted upgraded ... Really no need to jack up the pin-priority for backports far as I understand the topic. I used 200 ... and didn't run into problems. Mentioned ... IW + depends upgraded as desired/expected w no problems.

VLL! smile

I do not recommend to set the backports to anything than 100. That could be the result of your dependency problems. If you do that, you can immediately go and use Testing.

@CBiz: The main differences 'twixt apt-get and aptitude are:
1. If run without any arguments, aptitude has a fugly ncurses interface.
2. While apt-get will either handle conflict resolution on its own or hold back packages, aptitude will give you a few choices for conflict resolution.

@KrunchTime: I'm right there with ya; running with scissors (I mean, with Backports pinned at 900). Only disappointment I've had so far is the newest kernel, and that's only because it feels the same as the stable kernel to me.
