Package: apt
Version: 0.7.13
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have my own local archive with packages where I add local packages
or bugsfixes to debian packages. Or, as in the case of wine, a
diversion of the debian package.

Normaly I want newer versions of debian packages to override local
packages on the assumption that they will include the bugfixes the
local packages have. So I don't want to have a higher pin for the
archive. But for wine I want to keep my locally modified packages.

So I thought I would use the following:

Package: *wine*
Pin: release o=local
Pin-Priority: 600

But 2 things don't work there:

1) no wildcards on Package names
2) no release pinning on package pins

The first I can understand but why the second?


I also have a second use case for exactly the same: I use mplayer from
the multimedia repository. So now I want to make sure I keep the
mplayer from the multimedia repository but not have it replace
e.g. bash. That can not be expressed with either a repository pin or a
package pin.

Hi,

thanks for your report.

I am happy to tell you that the two features you requested are implemented
in the meantime. Specifically codename support since 0.7.22 and
wildcard/glob support since 0.8.14.

I am therefore closing this bugreport now.


Best regards

David Kalnischkies
