He doesn't mean install the unstable version to stable, he means compile the unstable version on stable. You can read more here: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation. I've been able to do this for a few simple packages in the past, but the difficulty goes up with larger amount of dependencies.

Backport the unstable version to stable "jessie".

How to backport amule from sid to stable:
Easier said than done but I've described a very simple way of backporting amule at viewtopic.php?f=30&t=117558#p553968 which I wrote last year when "jessie" was still testing and of course I recommend you also consider the method detailed by stevepusser in that topic at viewtopic.php?f=30&t=117558#p554365.
Backporting amule results in numerous packages being installed, but although this will not affect jessie's stability, it might not be a bad idea to do it in a build environment - like for example virtual box - rather than on your main system:
Here are the steps I used again:

Code: Select all

# echo "deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update

Or, if you prefer, edit /etc/apt/sources.list directly to include that line.

Code: Select all

# apt-get install build-essential
# apt-get build-dep amule
# exit

Continue in /home:

Code: Select all

$ mkdir amule && cd amule
$ user@jessie:~/amule$ apt-get --build source amule

Now the ls command will show the amule debs, which you may now install whichever way you prefer; for example, use the following dpkg command to install multiple debs from the working directory thus:

Code: Select all

# dpkg -i *deb

You'll likely need:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install -f

Backported.
