Tom, I told you exactly what Stephen told me when I wrote the multiple authority code the first time around. A package installed from the preferred authority without explicit reference should follow whatever the preferred authority is, even if it changes. Explicit authority references freeze the package to the authority.
The multiple authority code has been re-whacked a couple of times by other people. I'm not sure how thoroughly they tested, or if they changed any underlying assumptions. You'd have to ask them. -j On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 09:39:23AM -0500, Tom Mueller (pkg-discuss) wrote: > Stephen, > > Can you please chime in on this? > > The question concerns what the desired behavior should be for > "image-update" when a package is initially installed from the preferred > authority (either with our without an explicit authority reference), and > then the preferred authority is changed later. > > Thanks. > Tom > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > This actually seems like a regression.
