Hi. I just saw that there is a POSIX ERE matching mode, which can be used to solve the above issue (the glob matching, which I knew of, alone wouldn't have so).
So I guess you can close this bug, but I leave it open for now, that you can double check, whether the observed behaviour is actually desired. Also, I add a note to #776337, that the manpage should be improved to tell that multiple a=,a= and similar are not supported. Apart form that, one would perhaps welcome more examples about how to use the EREs,... e.g. describing which of the following it is: Pin: release /a=testing(|-updates)/ Pin: release a=/testing(|-updates)/ And since those apparently als match e.g. FOOtesting: Pin: release /^a=testing(|-updates)$/ Pin: release a=/^testing(|-updates)$/ Cheers, Chris.
