Reading man apt_preferences I can *almost* get it, but being a doubter...
As a happy user of Backstreet Ruby, the multi-seat Linux solution, I want to avoid that when Debian testing gets X 4.3.0, that its version will be installed.
(Unless Debian will have Backstreet Ruby as an option! What an idea...)
Instead I want all X code to come from here:
http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby
and I have in my sources list:
deb /http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby/ ./
Now it works without an entry in apt preferences because testing isn't up to 4.3.0: the output of apt-cache policy:
x-window-system: Installed: 4.3.0-0pre1v3 Candidate: 4.3.0-0pre1v3 Version Table: *** 4.3.0-0pre1v3 0 500 /http://www.schuldei.org ./ Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 4.2.1-12.1 0 500 ftp://ftp.at.debian.org testing/main Packages
But once Debian *does* get 4.3.0, would this entry in the preferences file be appropriate?
Package: * Pin: origin "www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby" Pin-Priority: 999
Yes?
Thanks!
Hugo.
