i asked for 'pinning' advice in the debian #packaging irc channel
it's impossible to pin an older package without instructing users to manually add an entry to their /etc/apt/preferences.d dir
Ahh right. In hindsight, I have always manually added entries for pinning. Silly me.
we could automate that task within koha-common, or another helper package - but that is probably considered inappropriate behaviour for a package (for security reasons)
the workaround for pinning, is to name the package using the +really convention described here -> https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html
Interesting! I'd never heard of +really, although that still sounds like a bit of a different scenario. I think that there is a 3rd option. With HTTP::OAI, we use the older version in Koha's Apt repo and don't use the Debian version which is too new. "libhttp-oai-perl (>= 3.2) | libhttp-oai-3.27-perl, libhttp-oai-perl (<< 4.0) | libhttp-oai-3.27-perl" http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/pool/main/libh/ https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libhttp-oai-perl That seems like the same thing that we'd want to do here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
