-1 is in updates, -2 is in updates-testing (on the master download
site anyway).

It's probably best to only enable the testing repo at specific times
and for specific programs.  Unless you want to take a chance at
finding a bad update breaks something.  Just the other day, there was
a pilot-link update that went into testing and managed to wreak a bit
of havoc with device permissions (by having an over-aggressive hal
rule).  That update was pulled from -testing so that it didn't affect
anyone else, and it won't make it to the normal updates repo.  (Yay
for testing!)
