Pinning Distributions

next up previous contents index

With the Debian packaging system you can specify that your packages come by default from one distribution but you can override this with packages from other distributions. The concept is called pinning and after it is set up you can have, for example, testing as your default release and then include unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list and install cdrecord from unstable with: 



  # apt-get install cdrecord/unstable


The following /etc/apt/preferences makes apt-get use testing unless it is overridden, even though there are entries for unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list: 



  Package: *
  Pin: release a=testing
  Pin-Priority: 900

  Package: *
  Pin: release o=Debian
  Pin-Priority: -10

Facts: " It reminds me of the claim that Americans built the first computer... It depends on what properties are necessary for a device to be classed as a computer: That it's electronic? That it has Randomly Accessible Memory? That it operates on a stored program? I am tempted to suggest that one of the requirements implicit in some people's lists is that it was built in America.   "
