deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
Edit your file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the mirror above. Close editor and save changes and update your apt database:
sudo apt-get update
that's it
but keep in mind that this can cause problems with LMDE

I want use sid repo (and expreimental) only for new package and not for all package (upgrade and security update), for upgrade and update base system use testing repo and linuxmintdebian repo.
This is my prefrences config:
Code: Select all
Package: *
Pin: release o=linuxmint
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.linuxmint.com
Pin-Priority: 700
Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: 500
Re: how to use sid repo in lmde ?
There's a better way to do that....go to & click the update icon on your taskbar, once it's open, click edit, then software sources....click on the tab that says "other software". At the bottom are 3 buttons, two are greyed out, the one that isn't, says "add",
click that and then type in these 2 addresses one at a time:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main non-free
Type those in exactly as they are or copy & paste them, each time click the add button, and you will now have the sid & experimental repos....hope that works for you...cheers

Re: how to use sid repo in lmde ?
If this helps you, I have both testing and unstable enabled in my sources.list, along with some other things
Since I only want to pull from unstable when something breaks in testing and I don't want to wait for it to be fixed, I have my /etc/apt/preferences file set up like so:
You'll notice that there are a few packages I have pinned to pull from a specific repo, since I know I want the version from that source, whereas most of them are setting a global priority for everything from a source. Hope this helps, if you have any questions about what I have done here, I'd be happy to try to answer them.

There is an 'excellent' Thread about this, over in the Crunchbang Forums (Crunchbang is based on Debian-stable with Xfce or Openbox)
Apt-Pinning and You: Living on the Edge > http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic ... edge-with/
I use a basic Debian OS with 'stable, testing and unstable' Pinning.
Or go, straight to the source: Debian-Apt-Pinning Guide > http://wiki.debian.org/AptPreferences
