======================
NAME
----
cdist-type__apt_pin - Manage apt pinning rules
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Adds/removes/edits rules to pin some packages to a specific distribution. Useful if using multiple debian repositories at the same time. (Useful, if one wants to use a few specific packages from backports or perhaps Debain testing... or even sid.)
REQUIRED PARAMETERS
-------------------
distribution
Specifies what distribution the package should be pinned to. Accepts both codenames (buster/bullseye/sid) and suite names (stable/testing/...).
OPTIONAL PARAMETERS
-------------------
package
Package name, glob or regular expression to match (multiple) packages. If not specified `__object_id` is used.
priority
The priority value to assign to matching packages. Deafults to 500. (To match the default target distro's priority)
state
Will be passed to underlying `__file` type; see there for valid values and defaults.
BOOLEAN PARAMETERS
------------------
None.
EXAMPLES
--------
.. code-block:: sh
# Add the bullseye repo to buster, but do not install any packages by default,
# only if explicitely asked for (-1 means "never" for apt)
__apt_pin bullseye-default \
--package "*" \
--distribution bullseye \
--priority -1
require="__apt_pin/bullseye-default" __apt_source bullseye \
--uri http://deb.debian.org/debian/ \
--distribution bullseye \
--component main
__apt_pin foo --package "foo foo-*" --distribution bullseye
__foo # Assuming, this installs the `foo` package internally
__package foo-plugin-extras # Assuming we also need some extra stuff
