'''2.''' In {{project_name_workstation_short}} (<code>{{project_name_workstation_template}}</code> [[Qubes|{{q_project_name_long}}]]) konsole, add Debian stable codename <code>{{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}</code> to the <code>apt-conf</code> <i>default-release</i>.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo su -c "echo -e 'APT::Default-Release {{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}};' > /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70defaultrelease"
}}

'''3.''' Add the current Debian unstable codename <code>{{Debian_Codename_Unstable}}</code> to <i>sources.list.d</i>.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo su -c "echo -e 'deb https://deb.debian.net/debian {{Debian_Codename_Unstable}} main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list"
}}

Or alternatively use the <i>.onion</i> mirror.

'''6.''' Undo.

On occasion it is necessary to undo this configuration, for example when upgrading from Debian <code>{{Stable_project_version_based_on_Debian_codename}}</code> to <code>{{Debian_Codename_Testing}}</code>. <ref>Most often this step applies before attempting major {{project_name_short}} upgrades; upgrade instructions are also made available at that time (see [[Stay_Tuned|Follow {{project_name_short}} Developments]]).</ref> To proceed, run.

Delete Debian testing repository list.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/unstable.list
}}

Delete apt Default-Release configuration.

{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo rm /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/70defaultrelease
}}
