how do you keep a single package up to date from repository not in your apt sources?

Re: how do you keep a single package up to date from repository not in your apt sourc

Hi,
due this package is in wheezy-backports you can easy install this source-list and install the package from wheezy-backports (-t wheezy-backports).

After that apt take care to use the actual version.

i dont want anything else from backports, just that one package. its a temporary concern since the next version of proxmox should have it.

dont want newer versions of other packages. its not a big deal, since i dont think they'll hurt. but the system works well as it is, so i dont want to change it.

Hi,
you know that's grossly negligent?!

But if you simply do an "apt-get -t wheezy-backports install package-name" after an "apt-get update", you update only this one package.

But I wonder, that you want to update this one package but other (important) packages not.

i was not clear. i want my updates to be from the stable repositories instead of backports. except that one package. otherwise, a backported newer version other packages can get pulled in. like i said, in this case, it does not hurt anything, so i will do this.

but, now im curious if theres way to only take one package from a repository, and ignore the rest.

Hi,
this is this, what I say the whole thread. ONLY the packages, which you install from backports (plus dependencies) came from backports!

See here - only kernel and samba from backports:

There is a better way....
example:

File: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zabbix
Contents:
deb http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.4/debian wheezy main


File: /etc/apt/preferences.d/zabbix.pref
Contents:
Package: za*
Pin: origin "repo.zabbix.com"
Pin-Priority: 140

Package: *
Pin: origin "repo.zabbix.com"
Pin-Priority: -10
