I'm running 4.7-Stable. When I try to grab the packages I want, it fails (don't recall the error message, but I believe "unknown"). I've set the version to be 4.7-Release. Is there some other tweak I need to do to be able to retrieve packages on a -stable system from the -release versions? Thanks..
