I'm using only two repos: centos and rpmforge, my /etc/apt/preferences
looks like this:
Package: *
Pin: origin apt.sw.be
Pin-Priority: 400
The default priority is 500 so apt will prefer any package from centos.
You could add more repos the same way.
Thanks Arturo!
this works for me, although as pointed out by Dag it means you have to
keep the mirrors in the sources.list.d/* files in sync with apt/preferences
Also, you have to use different mirrors for each repo
But it works! I've just clicked "Mark All Upgrades" and it upgraded my
self-rebuilt ddd rpm to the epel version without hosing my whole system,
synaptic didn't offer to "upgrade" half of my rpmforge rpms to the epel
versions
For the record I've copied my working apt/preferences below.
it also prevents synaptic always asking if it should upgrade
xscreensaver to gnome-screensaver, which had been annoying me for a while
If someone finds a way to Pin the repo itself instead of the mirror,
please tell me/us
Regards,
Nicolas
