This doesn't work if you have binaries with different versions but otherwise, '?any-version(?source-package(^apt$)?source-version(^2.9.3$)?architecture(amd64))'=2.9.3 works fine to download amd64 and all binaries (note that all gets mapped to the native architecture). The problem is the patter nobject is matching against packages here, so we need to specify the version again in =. if we made download match it against versions it would just automagically work, but we can't do that by default. Maybe we need special syntax for it, or a command-line option. But there's some more issues because I believe the parsing for command-line arguments runs at a point where it can only communicate packages not versions. -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
