apt pinning options?
I've decided I'd like to try pinning.
I read through apt_preferences(5) and the howtos on the web and I've
still got a question.
In the following example. I got "Unofficial Multimedia Packages" from
the release file (http://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/sid/Release).
Package: *
Pin: origin Unofficial Multimedia Packages
Pin: release a=sid
Pin-Priority: 500
However, a number of archives I have in my sources.list don't have a
release file. How else might I list them in my /etc/apt/preferences file?
For example, one line from my sources.list is:
deb http://mirror.pusling.com/debian/unstable/ ./
How else can I reference an archive in /etc/apt/preferences with no
release file? I don't want to pin a specific app in such an archive, I
just want to give the whole archive a lower priority.
Thanks.
