Package: apt
Version: 0.3.18
Hello!
Often I'd like or I need to have the latest version of a package from unstable,
but don't want to upgrade everything to unstable.
I see three sensible ways to configure this, which could be used at the same
time:
- per package/section:
Have a file like this:
unstable: abcde, X11/
potato: DEFAULT
- per operation:
potato: UPGRADE, DIST-UPGRADE
unstable: INSTALL
- per priority:
potato: REQUIRED, IMPORTANT
Such a thing would make apt-get even more helpful, since it helps to save
bandwidth and
lets people run a stable distribution and still be able to use cutting-edge
versions
where needed.
Thank you for a great distribution and this excellent tool,
