[19:38] DammitJim, look into apt-pinning [19:59] thanks balloons [19:59] not apt-mark hold ? [20:00] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto explains it all [20:01] but yea I guess that's the idea if you only want to hold one package forever. [20:20] balloons, do you know if I can make it not update any packages that samba relies on? [20:20] that's why it gets tricky [20:21] I think you'd have to do this for all the dependencies that matter [20:21] things in the archive will assume current versions and at some point you may have to upgrade [20:21] it's a slippery slope. But with samba you are probably fine. [20:21] for a little while at least :p [20:21] man, the thing is that samba screws with you [20:21] they update stuff and things break [20:22] but I honestly don't know if it is just the samba package or dependent packages that cause this [20:22] most people blame it on just "samba" [20:23] I've not had trouble with samba for some time [20:23] but that's just me.. I know it can be frustrating [20:23] a samba snappy package is probably going to make this easier all around [20:24] there you go.. you can run multiple versions, only your favorite version and easily rollback to any of them if you wish [20:24] what is a samba snappy package? [20:25] snappy is a new packaging system we're working on [20:25] oh gosh [20:25] it allows developers to package their stuff along with dependencies in an easier way than .deb packages [20:26] it also allows updating the app and the OS independently of eacher
