[elbe-devel] How to specify which version of a package should be installed?

[Lukasz Walewski]

Hi,

I have a local repository which serves Debian packages with the software we are developing. There are different versions of each package, say I have two versions of my-app:

my-app_1.2.3-1_i386.deb
my-app_1.5.0-1_i386.deb

I would like to select the particular version of my-app to be installed in the RFS, however, I could not find out how. I have the following section in my XML file:

<target>
<pkg-list>
<pkg>my-app</pkg>
</pkg-list>
</target>

How do I specify, which version (not necessarily the most recent one) should be installed?

Thanks & regards,
Lukasz

PS I am aware of the workaround: <command>apt-get install my-app=1.2.3</command> but such explicit apt calls are not really meant for installing packages I guess...
