Package: apt
Version: 0.8.10
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
it would be nice if we can write preferences like:
Package: php5*
Pin: version 5.2.*
Pin-Priority: 1001
that would pin all packages starting with 'php5' with version 5.2.* .
Thanks for considering,
Sandro

apt (0.8.14) unstable; urgency=low
[ Julian Andres Klode ]
[…]
* apt-pkg/policy.cc:
- Allow pinning by glob() expressions, and regular expressions
surrounded by slashes (the "/" character) (LP: #399474)
(Closes: #121132)
[…]
In your specific case you can help yourself in any apt version by
creating a single stanza listing the output of in Package:
apt-cache pkgnames php5 | tr '\n' ' '
