Hi,
What is the recommended way to find deb packages installed from
repositories other than stable? My current variant is
apt list '?narrow(~i, !~Astable|~Astable-backports|!~O^Debian$|~o|~c)'
I can not say that I fully understand how apt-patterns(7) work, so I am
afraid that I may miss some cases in the expression above. It sounds
like a FAQ, but have not found a ready to use solution.
A workaround is to remove extra repositories from sources.list and get
the list by "apt list '~o'", however, I hope, it is not necessary.
Reasons why I have added more repositories are described below.
Till Firefox-115 appeared in bookworm, I had it installed from trixie.
Fortunately it required just a few packages from testing, so it was
safe. Now I want to be sure that I have reinstalled versions from stable
for all of them.
'~i~Atesting' gives a long list filled with false positives because
currently most of packages have same versions in trixie and bookworm.
In addition I have tried backports kernel to try if Intel wifi driver is
better there.
Actually I still have a couple of packages from trixie, but they have no
binary dependencies.
