Document/Provide preferences file for automatic upgrades for of leap packages
at https://dl.bitmask.net/linux/, we document the steps how to configure the leap repository. but without a dedicated /etc/apt/preferences.d/leap file like this:
Package: * Pin: release o=leap.se Pin-Priority: 1000
packages that are provided by debian/ubuntu too would not get automatically updated from the leap repo.
i.e. the libzmq3 package:
without a preference file, it looks like this:
apt-cache policy libzmq3 libzmq3: Installed: 4.0.4+dfsg-2 Candidate: 4.0.4+dfsg-2 Version table: 4.0.4+leap-2+0~20140813002149.8+trusty~1.gbpc7a23b 0 500 http://deb.bitmask.net/debian/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 4.0.4+dfsg-2 0 970 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages -10 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
with a preference file:
root@rocinante:/etc/apt/preferences.d# apt-cache policy libzmq3 libzmq3: Installed: 4.0.4+dfsg-2 Candidate: 4.0.4+leap-2+0~20140813002149.8+trusty~1.gbpc7a23b Version table: 4.0.4+leap-2+0~20140813002149.8+trusty~1.gbpc7a23b 0 2000 http://deb.bitmask.net/debian/ trusty/main amd64 Packages *** 4.0.4+dfsg-2 0 970 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages -10 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ utopic/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
