Damn. That's a real drag. I'm sorry that I don't understand it all better.

I'm struggling a little bit because it seems like with things like Bitcoin I have to compromise. Either I get a stable distro, where I can install everything I need from the repo, or I have to run less stable distros or install from source or packages that aren't in the repo.

What would you suggest for somebody in my situation? You're saying it won't even make it to testing, too, or just stable?

Should I consider running Debian testing? That seems a bit more technically advanced. I've done some research online and there are several different instructions. I'd like it to be as easy as installing stable and just having it be testing forever, or something.

*sigh*

Thanks for all of your work anyways. Please keep us posted on this thread if things change in the future.
