Found a nice newbie-friendly article on apt pinning, which enables the user to prioritize the repos in /etc/apt/sources.list instead of installing/upgrading things simply based on the versioning of the packages:
http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html One immediate use I thought of is to assign the highest priority to jpmatrix's custom repo, so that 2or0's mplayer won't get replaced by apt-get dist-upgrade. ![]() |

Any others? Maybe we should keep a list of potential apt pit falls. CODE Package: udev Pin: version 0.114-2 Pin-Priority: 1001 Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 700 Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 Cal PS my udev pin might not be at the highest possible version, but it hasn't caused a problem yet. |
