--- Begin Message ---Package: apt Version: 0.7.13 Severity: wishlist Hi, I have my own local archive with packages where I add local packages or bugsfixes to debian packages. Or, as in the case of wine, a diversion of the debian package. Normaly I want newer versions of debian packages to override local packages on the assumption that they will include the bugfixes the local packages have. So I don't want to have a higher pin for the archive. But for wine I want to keep my locally modified packages. So I thought I would use the following: Package: *wine* Pin: release o=local Pin-Priority: 600 But 2 things don't work there: 1) no wildcards on Package names 2) no release pinning on package pins The first I can understand but why the second? I also have a second use case for exactly the same: I use mplayer from the multimedia repository. So now I want to make sure I keep the mplayer from the multimedia repository but not have it replace e.g. bash. That can not be expressed with either a repository pin or a package pin.

--- Begin Message ---Hi, thanks for your report. I am happy to tell you that the two features you requested are implemented in the meantime. Specifically codename support since 0.7.22 and wildcard/glob support since 0.8.14. I am therefore closing this bugreport now. Best regards David Kalnischkies
