Hi Manuel,
I want to ping you on this wishlist ticket.
I do not want to stress you out: you have your own life and priorities,
just as everybody else, full respect for that.
However sometimes stuff falls through the cracks, that's why I'm pinging
you on this.
Do you have any further insight on that wishlist bug? Did you get stuck
reviewing it? Is there anything that's missing (yeah, I guess the tests
should be fixed, right?), that you'd maybe appreciate if anybody could
take care of?
As said, no stress, however I *would* appreciate it very much if this
patch could make it in eventually... :-o
Thanks a lot for taking care of aptitude :-)!!! Best greetings,
*t

Hi Tomas,

The attached patch implement filtering for the 'Label' field in the
"Release" file. I.e. it allows to filter packages according to the
'Label' of the release they belong to.
It adds a search expression/filter '?label()' to aptitude.
Thanks for the patch.
Yay!
Actually I could have needed that (and looked for it) yesterday on
Raspbian to figure our which packages come from Rasbian (i.e. are in
sync with Debian) and which come from the Raspberry Pi Foundation's
APT repo (which seems rather topsy-turvy).
In the end ?origin() worked for that case, too, but having ?label() …

… and ?suite() would be indeed a very nice addition. So thanks for the
patch (and patch template)!
IIRC I implemented ?origin a few years back, and again IIRC, there was
some trouble with ?label or some of the other fields coming from the
repo, I think that it's the reason why they are missing.
Over the next week or so I will try to remember or do some tests to find
out why I didn't do that... unfortunately that might require digging
into bug reports or mailing list archives, if that was even documented
publicly at all, which maybe not.
Cheers.
