Is it possible to upgrade just selected packages from the update UI?

[scyto]

For example below if i wanted to upgrade just the FFR packages how can i do that in the UI, am i being stupid?
(or do I need to just accept per package upgrading has to be done via manual shell commands)

I was hoping to see an upgrade 'selected package' on the upgrade drop down or somesuch.

no, that's not supported. in general I would recommend upgrading all packages (while we try hard to encode all the needed inter-dependencies in the package metadata, it's always possible we've missed something which would result in a partial upgrade breaking something - and you also get the most likely to be well tested combination of packages if you don't keep random parts on old versions )

Agreed, as soon as you have those thunderbolt-net IPv6 and xDomain patches backported in the pve-kernel i plan to switch back to your kernel and drop my patched 6.5.2 ubuntu kernel, until then i can't upgrade all or it will break my cluster

your kernel (image/package) should not be overwritten by ours (each kernel version gets its own package name and file paths), and you can pin yours in your bootloader

and you can pin yours in your bootloader

umm i have no idea how to do that .... goes google.....

this right? proxmox-boot-tool kernel pin 6.5.2-tbfixes-v2+

do i need to re-pin after installing a new official kernel package?

no, the pin should be saved persistently until you clear it.
