Our pseudo-codename setup is not guaranteed to be in sync with Debian's releases, so using the ''stable'' codename might mean that you will actually get packages for what Debian calls ''oldstable'' after a new Debian distro release for a considerable amount of time.</note> 
 + 
 +<note warning>Switching between components usually requires uninstalling all X2Go packages first! The only upgrade path that is considered somewhat safe is main (release packages) to heuler (nightly packages), but there are no guarantees regarding the stability or usefulness of nightly packages.</note>

 +**Not being able to verify signatures means that any content downloaded from the remote location could be injected/offered by a malicious third party and need not come from the X2Go Project. This includes repository metadata and any packages downloaded from unauthenticated repositories. Installing the x2go-keyring package from an unauthenticated repository bears the chance that this is not our package but a malicious third-party one which will not contain our public keys. This holds for all packages installed from this repository, now and later.**
