I use a mixed system, partially documented at <http://iguanasuicide.net/node/4>. 2 VPSes are virtually all Lenny, one desktop is Lenny plus enough Squeeze to have KDE 4 from Squeeze. On all of them, it would be quite nice if aptitude would give me just a /little _bit_/ more information about which archive a particular package version was coming from. Specifically, when viewing the package info for a single package, how do I change the way the lines under "Versions" are displayed? I think I would like to add the "%t" escape to those lines, so that in addition to the version, I would also see "stable", "lenny-backports", "testing", "unstable", or "experimental". Really, I could use this information on every non-heading line of that dependencies-and-versions tree. I hope this is possible. I know Daniel Burrows sometimes pops on to the list, so I figure it's a good source of information. Still, I'll probably file a (wishlist) bug if I can't figure this out. I know aptitude has this information. I can see it when I can using the interactive dependency resolver. I don't really need this information in the "Package-Display-Format", especially since it varies from version to version and one line in the package display cover multiple versions so the information displayed wouldnt' be useful to me. For similar reasons, I don't think I need/can use this information if it was in the "Package-Header-Format" or "Package-Status-Format". Perhaps we need a new configuration key? "Package-Version-Display-Format"? -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
