Installation

Add the following two lines into your /etc/apt/sources.list file, and replace 'package' with source package name as debian/pool directories if you want to pick out a single backport. Use 'all' instead when you want to get all available backports (again: this is not recommended). More detailed instructions will be available here soon.
| deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable package ...
| deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable package ...
			
Take a look at the list of official mirrors to come to know about what lines you have to add to your sources.list if you want to use one of our mirrors.

If you want to use kernel 2.6 with woody, check this mail from december 2003.

If you want to mirror these backports, use rsync://www.backports.org/debian. Please do not just run wget on this site, this would be a waste of traffic, because wget can't recognize the symbolic links used in this repository. I know this is a problem, hence I will use the official pool structure as soon as sarge is released and I have build the first sarge backport.

Check the repository changelog if you want to know about the changes in this repository.
