Hi, I'm preparing my laptop for egdy to feisty upgrade.
My first step is identifying all packages installed on my system coming from not official Ubuntu repo. I've started by commenting out all of them from sources.list (have ~5 of those), following sudo aptitude update. This gave me all "foreign" packages under "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages" in aptitude interactive mode. Now I wish to continue by resuming the previously commented out repositories, and identifying each package from which repository it comes from. This will give me a perfect status on required steps to accomplish a successful upgrade and more importantly could suggest what software will break (because no feisty deb has been created for it yet). So, to make a long story short - How can I query apt-get/aptitude/apt-* for "package from repository" data ? Thanks guys. P.S, OT, btw, foo-msg and co. This whole thing it to get subversion v1.4, which for some reason (bad!) has does have rpm for RH4 but no .deb for Debian 3.1/Ubuntu 6.10. This in turn to enable me seeing meld diff of a checkouted source on the RH4 box (using svn1.4) from on a mapped via sshfs folder in my Ubuntu 6.10 laptop. Meld FYI can automagically detect that you are diffing from an svn directory and display you those diffs (local copy vs. HEAD revision). -- Cheers, Maxim Veksler "Free as in Freedom" - Do u GNU ? ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
