I /personally/ would backport the package and use it through a repository (or include it into chroot_local-packages). because... > apt-pinning ? ...pinning between stable and testing can lead to some pretty unpredictable outcomings. remember, the toolchain needed for your package from testing gets pulled into the stable system (e.g. libc and libgcc for c programms). however... > It tries to update many packages from testing if I add the repository. ...the only required thing for pinning is to have /etc/apt/preferences configured *before* the package gets installed. you can do this, as of now, not in an automatic way, because both lh_chroot_local-includes and lh_chroot_local-hooks are, by default, always called after lh_chroot_{packages,packageslists,local-packages,local-packageslists}. the reason for that is, that lh_chroot_*hooks and lh_chroot_*includes should be the two very last things done before creating the rootfs image, and i don't want to change that. so, i'll add a check for config/chroot_apt/preferences.{binary,bootstrap} into lh_chroot_apt, which is the helper to take care about the configuration of apt during the chroot stage. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Burgunderstrasse 3, CH-4562 Biberist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://people.panthera-systems.net/~daniel-baumann/ _______________________________________________ debian-live-devel mailing list debian-live-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debian-live-devel
