That is a completely different feature request. It would be good if you could report it as new wishlist with a bit more details if possible, as i intend to close/fix this one here in a while, if the refactoring works out. :) > I was doing some installations with apt-build, which uses AptPkg library > and so, there is currently no way, how to force apt-cache to use src > packages based on Default-Release or Pin Priority. (Or I couldn't find > the easy way, how to do it) Pinning effects only binary packages, not source packages (these can be completely different names - we have even binary packages which have the same name as a source package but come from a completely different source package itself. So, which package would you mean in the preferences file then? (e.g. automake vs. automake1.4) You can get the source files with apt-get source package -t release this assumes that "package" is a binary package name - therefore you will need deb and deb-src entries for the archives. (with --only-source this assumption can be disabled). package=version works for both, source as well as binary… Best regards, David Kalnischkies -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
