Re: proposal: add Release file to repository

Thanks for the answer, but your way was in no good for me. I installed
xserver-xfree86 [not xfree86-xserver] in previous attempts manually
using -t experimental switch. Your advice used in installing xlibs
results in:
dunadan:~# apt-get -u install xlibs
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
---snip---
3 upgraded, 31 newly installed, 135 to remove and 54 not upgraded.

The same result as before [upgraded should be xlibs xlibs-dev
xlibs-static-pic].

How did you manage to upgrade xlibs etc.?
