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;
      }
