Hello (again) Ansgar Burchardt, 2010/3/22 Ansgar Burchardt <[email protected]>: > in the "the Version: line" paragraph of apt_preferences(5) the following > example is given: > > Pin: release a=stable, v=3.0 > > But the general effect of "," is not explained anywhere.

At the end of the "The Effect of APT Preferences" paragraph we have a comparable example which is described with: > <simpara>The following record assigns a high priority to all package versions > belonging to any release whose Archive name is "<literal>stable</literal>" > and whose release Version number is "<literal>3.0</literal>".</simpara> So yes, the "," is really an "and" in the pin-sense. You can observe this also in the output of "apt-cache policy" without any package which can come in handy to find out what you need to specify to pin a certain repository. Do you think this example is enough or should we add a little note about it? And do you have any suggestions on the note itself and/or at which place?
