Hello Brendan, may I kindly ask for your plans on creating something like AptPkg::Policy as a wrapper around the APT class pkgPolicy.
E.g. the implementation of wishlist bug #363104 would greatly benefit
From such a wrapper: apt-show-versions needs this information to
consider APT pinning when determining whether a package is upgradeable
or not.
Both alternatives look ugly to me:
- Calling 'apt-cache policy' internally in apt-show-versions and parsing
its output.
- Reimplement the functionality of 'apt-cache policy' in perl (parsing
and evaluating /etc/apt/preferences independently of AptPkg).
Regards, Andreas Hoenen
