I want to build a desktop system using packages, but haven't seen this issue addressed directly. The Handbook says you can use PACKAGESITE to grab packages from, say, STABLE, even if you're running RELEASE.
Is this a wise idea? The Handbook only says it's "possible," and I've seen differing opinions from various folks. Plus, the handbook says STABLE is "not a resource for end users," and I'd like to honor that.
In lieu of wanting up-to-date packages, should I just dive in with STABLE? Use STABLE packages on RELEASE? Something else?
Thanks,
Adam
