In apt 0.8.X, you can just pin by regex or glob: Package: * Pin: release a=natty* Pin-Priority: 990
or Package: * Pin: release a=/natty.*/ Pin-Priority: 990 Same goes for Default-Release: Apt::Default-Release "natty*"; or Apt::Default-Release "/natty.*/"; It's not documented, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295448 Title: apt documentation for APT::Default-Release is not clear regarding security updates -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
