If you want to test the latest bleeding-edge source code
for <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>, you can download unreleased <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span>
source code using Git. Install Git (available
from <a class="ulink" href="http://git-scm.com/" target="_top">http://git-scm.com/</a>) and
execute the command <span class="command"><strong>git clone
git://anonscm.debian.org/aptitude/aptitude.git</strong></span>

The <span class="command"><strong>aptitude</strong></span> Git repository is an active
development tree; it will change as bugs are fixed and
features are added, and there is absolutely no guarantee
that it will even compile, let alone run properly! Bug
reports are welcome, but be aware that you use
development code entirely at your own
risk!<a href="#ftn.idm204" class="footnote" id="idm204"><sup class="footnote">[1]</sup></a>
