Packages from cooking in stable

I need fresh xfreerdp, but latest cooking is broken (http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/cant-load-latest-cooking-livecd-20121014). So can I install packages from cooking in latest stable (4.0)?

And what shall I do for this?

Short answer: yes.

To do it simply execute

tazpkg set-release cooking

Then

tazpkg get-install freerdp

Then

tazpkg set-release 4.0

You forgot the tazpkg recharge between the steps. Also this isn't a recommended action. It will work for packages with minimal requirements that doesn't replace system packages, but might break your system with packages that do replace system packages.

I understand, that it may break a system. But in fact there shouldn't be a problem with non-system software. Sometimes it's very important to use fresh version of some software in stable OS.
