how to upgrade to gnupg-1.4.9 ? SOLVED

[macintoshzoom]

And Hi James Hartley again,

1- Is it possible for those xperimentals installs on stable to be installed in a special way as to don't break the system and easily uninstall if it don't work?
E.g, as a static version , chrooted,  or similarly to the pc-bsd pbi installs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-BSD :
....
All software packages and libraries are installed in their own self-contained directories in /Programs, decreasing confusion about where the binary programs reside and reducing the possibility of breaking a package if system libraries are upgraded or changed. The PC-BSD package manager also takes care of creating links in the KDE menu and on the KDE desktop.
The PC-BSD project claims its style of package management, which is similar to that of major operating systems such as Microsoft Windows, is simpler than that of other Unix-like systems.
....

Even if it takes much more disk space (?) or some extra Ram/CPU (?), this is not a problem when you can get a new sata2 Maxtor 500MB hd for less than 70$.

2- At http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#NoFun it says:

""""Because no intrusive changes are made in -stable, it is possible to use -release packages and ports on a -stable system. There is no need to update all your installed packages after applying a few errata patches to your system."""""""

What does this means?
