apt pinning

Read Original

This technical guide introduces apt pinning, a feature of Debian's APT package manager. It explains how to configure your system to pull packages from stable, testing, and unstable repositories simultaneously, allowing you to maintain a stable base while selectively installing newer software. The article provides detailed steps for editing the sources.list and preferences files to set repository priorities.
