Package: apt
Version: 0.7.22.2
Severity: wishlist
Please add pinning configuration possiblity via separate files
under
/etc/apt/preferences.d/
The files would be read in alphabetical order, so a numbering sheme
for files would need to be recommended in the sources.list(5) manual
page. (NN<NAME> => like 00first, 10second ...)
This would be analogous feature to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Version: 0.7.22
Hi Jari Aalto,
first of all: thanks for your report!
> Please add pinning configuration possiblity via separate files
reading the debian/changelog for version 0.7.22 says:
[...]
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
[...]
* Support /etc/apt/preferences.d, by adding ReadPinDir() (Closes: #535512)
[...]
So, if your version information is correct you should already have such a
directory and it should work as you requested it here. :)
I am therefore closing this wishlist entry.
If you think this is wrong or if i misunderstood you:
Please feel free to reopen this bug!
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
David "DonKult" Kalnischkies
