How to install only selected version of packages for stability ?

i want a stable distro. but i also dont want leave arch and its aur. so i want to install only stable version for all packages. the version number can be know from http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ … CKAGES.TXT  or  http://packages.debian.org/stable/allpa … mat=txt.gz or own expieriance. so it would make my arch more stable.
right now i can think of one way to achive this, by create another repositery and disabling all others including core extra community etc.
so which one is more feasible different repositery or different, stable distro (may be slack).
thanks

How do you measure that stability?
in infinitely stable system, binary will only do what they are supposed to do. thats what is desirable. one way to find out the stability is testing for a period of time. and i heard slackware and debian stable are most tested distro so thats why i chose their packages.txt.
i am ignoring their interference with upstream packages and assuming it has zero effect on stability. however feel free to shatter my assumption.
Arch is a rolling release; it is predicated on moving with upstream.
it does not matter the only requirement is that the required version of the pacages should exist somewhere. with the proposed changes it would not be rolling anymore, at least apparantly.
Depends how much work you want to put into it. I expect that in turn depends on the issues you believe have been caused by arch's alleged lack of stability, and you haven't said anything about them.
Given your apparent determination to stay with Arch, it's odd that you included the option to change distro in your question, but it's the option I would recommend to you. If you decide to persist with Arch, here's a previous attempt to inspire you.
the point is i dont have to do much work. most of the work is testing, which is already done by big distros like slack, debian. i am just using their knowledge of most stable packages and applying that in arch. the only work i have to do is to automate the whole process of changing the database file.
yes i am facing issue with my current arch, xfce-panel is crashing. there is fixed bitmap in my top left corner etc. but i dont want to spend my time debugging these problems. but i do want them dissappeared, hopefully the proposed change would do that.
i think i am moving to slackware but without leaving arch. the only difference between them that matters is slackware is well tested distro and i think i am bringing that quality in my arch.
the difference between archserver and arch is archserver provides more stability but not more than slackware. so i think i am not intrested in archserver.

  • How to download and Install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language in Windows 7 64bit

    OBIEE 11G Installation error during configuration steps with message "Distributing Repository" failed.
    I searched lot of forums but all they say, install bos.loc.utf.EN_US Package for the Oracle BI locale setting english-usa language. From where we can download this package.
    Thanks in advance.

    But I am assuming that when I make the installer, the 32-bit Run Time Engine is appened with the installer, as show below
    Since from the picture you can see its including the support installers from '\Program Files (x86)\'
    The application runs queries to fetch data from database in SQL server 2008, and for that I am using a Microsoft SQL Native Client 2008 R2 64 bit ( this is the only version that installs on either PC, even the one on which I developed my LV Application).
    I am not using any driver, only toolkits for reports - and for that I un-checked the "Remove unused polymorphic VI instances" when making the executable, otherwise LV throws up an exception that share variable are not being included.
    Yes I did reboot every time after I ran the installation.
    Still getting the same error.

  • How to install only Roxio CD Burner Program from the Recovery CDs?

    I bought a T400 a few weeks ago in Korea.
    But my company uses English, so I had to install a Windows XP English version.
    However, at that time I lost the Roxio software.
    I have the recovery CDs for T400 Windows XP PRO SP2.
    If it is possible, then please let me know how to install only Roxio CD Burner Programs from the Recovery CDs.
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    unfortunately it´s not possible to install just one program from recovery cd´s.
    But on Lenovo support pages, there you should find your software and applications.
    Please visit with IE and let autodetect your system.
    Then you should able to choose which type of software is availible for you.
    Choose CD and DVD drives.
    Hopefully the T400 department is up to date now.
    Follow @LenovoForums on Twitter! Try the forum search, before first posting: Forum Search Option
    Please insert your type, model (not S/N) number and used OS in your posts.
    I´m a volunteer here using New X1 Carbon, ThinkPad Yoga, Yoga 11s, Yoga 13, T430s,T510, X220t, IdeaCentre B540.

  • I am trying to import photo's on i photo.  It downloads all of the pictures on my camera, how do i only select the photos i want?  Is there a way to do this without selecting one photo at a time? is there a way to select multiple images?  thanks!

    I am trying to import photo's on i photo.  It downloads all of the pictures on my camera, how do i only select the photos i want?  Is there a way to do this without selecting one photo at a time? is there a way to select multiple images?  thanks!

    To select consecutive images click and drag the cursor over multiple thumbnails to select all at once.
    To select multiple images that are randomly located hold down the Command(⌘) key and click on those images you want to select.
    Or to select consecutive images from a list of images that are together hold down the Shift key and and click on the first photo you want to select and the on the last photo you want in the list.

    how to install only windows 7 on macbook4,1?
    i have windows 7 dvd, i want to install windows 7 only and does not want to keep  msc os 10.5.8. currently i do not have any cd or DVD which came with my macbook. So i need to know:
    1- how i install windows 7?
    2- 32bit or 64bit windows?
    3- after installing how to get drivers of my macbook?

    There is no disc of Mountain Lion, and if there were it would not contain drivers, those  are on your original OSX disc (the one that came with the machine) or you can download them using Boot Camp Assistant.
    You will need a 64 bit copy of Windows, OEM or retail.
