| balloons | DammitJim, look into apt-pinning | 19:38 |

| DammitJim | thanks balloons | 19:59 |
| DammitJim | not apt-mark hold ? | 19:59 |
| balloons | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto explains it all | 20:00 |
| balloons | but yea I guess that's the idea if you only want to hold one package forever. | 20:01 |
| DammitJim | balloons, do you know if I can make it not update any packages that samba relies on? | 20:20 |
| balloons | that's why it gets tricky | 20:20 |
| mhall119 | I think you'd have to do this for all the dependencies that matter | 20:21 |
| balloons | things in the archive will assume current versions and at some point you may have to upgrade | 20:21 |
| balloons | it's a slippery slope. But with samba you are probably fine. | 20:21 |
| balloons | for a little while at least :p | 20:21 |
| DammitJim | man, the thing is that samba screws with you | 20:21 |
| DammitJim | they update stuff and things break | 20:21 |
| DammitJim | but I honestly don't know if it is just the samba package or dependent packages that cause this | 20:22 |
| DammitJim | most people blame it on just "samba" | 20:22 |
| balloons | I've not had trouble with samba for some time | 20:23 |
| balloons | but that's just me.. I know it can be frustrating | 20:23 |
| mhall119 | a samba snappy package is probably going to make this easier all around | 20:23 |
| balloons | there you go.. you can run multiple versions, only your favorite version and easily rollback to any of them if you wish | 20:24 |
| DammitJim | what is a samba snappy package? | 20:24 |
| mhall119 | snappy is a new packaging system we're working on | 20:25 |
| DammitJim | oh gosh | 20:25 |
| mhall119 | it allows developers to package their stuff along with dependencies in an easier way than .deb packages | 20:25 |
| mhall119 | it also allows updating the app and the OS independently of eacher | 20:26 |
