Package: multistrap
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in order to multistrap from multiple repositories where one is set to
noautomatic, we'll need a way to pin the repo (or individual packages),
therefore, it would be nice, if multistrap would e.g. respect a
pre-existing $dir/etc/apt/preferences and $dir/etc/apt/preferences.d/*.

Regards,
Daniel

I think the best solution for this would be to use a hook to copy a
pre-written preferences file into the relevant location in the chroot.

Multistrap cannot really support creating an apt preferences file from
it's own configuration - that would just be redundant code.

If the current hooks do not provide the right moment for the
preferences to be put in place, let me know / reopen.

For now, (and as hooks are already in place in multistrap 2.1.12), I'm
closing this bug.
