Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Starting with Etch, Debian Installer doesn't put suites anymore in
/etc/apt/sources.list. Taking that into account it would be nice if
codename based pinning would be possible, since the Release files
provide the needed information:

head /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.ro.debian.org_debian_dists_etch_Release
Origin: Debian
Label: Debian
Suite: stable
Version: 4.0r0
Codename: etch
Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2007 10:41:22 UTC
Architectures: alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc
s390 sparc
Components: main contrib non-free
Description: Debian 4.0r0 Released 8 April 2007
MD5Sum:


Since "c=" is taken already by "component", "c" for codename doesn't
work :-/ :


========
      for (unsigned J = 0; Fragments[J] != 0; J++)
      {
	 if (strlen(Fragments[J]) < 3)
	    continue;
	
	 if (stringcasecmp(Fragments[J],Fragments[J]+2,"v=") == 0)
	    RelVerStr = Fragments[J]+2;
	 else if (stringcasecmp(Fragments[J],Fragments[J]+2,"o=") == 0)
	    RelOrigin = Fragments[J]+2;
	 else if (stringcasecmp(Fragments[J],Fragments[J]+2,"a=") == 0)
	    RelArchive = Fragments[J]+2;
	 else if (stringcasecmp(Fragments[J],Fragments[J]+2,"l=") == 0)
	    RelLabel = Fragments[J]+2;
	 else if (stringcasecmp(Fragments[J],Fragments[J]+2,"c=") == 0)
	    RelComponent = Fragments[J]+2;
      }

Version: 0.7.22

Thanks for your reports and especially thanks for the patch Ryan Murray!
The patch was a good base but is now a bit more general
to not only support codenames in pin-files.

The issue should be fixed in 0.7.22:
extracted from the changelog:

  [ David Kalnischkies ]
  * [ABI break] Allow pinning by codename (closes: #97564)

Note: The char chosen to represent the codeName is n=
a= is as before for archive. Without a a= or n= both are checked.

So the line:
Pin: release n=squeeze
is equal to
Pin: release squeeze

See also apt_preference (5) for details on pinning to a codename.

This commit also made it possible to use codenames in
--target-release and in pkg/codename

So the commands
apt-get install awesome/unstable
and
apt-get install awesome/sid
are equal and work now as expected.



Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
