apt pinning package versions
4
Is it possible to pin a version of a debian package?
Is it possible to pin only the major version? (like with pip install "pyramid < 1.4.0" will install the latest 1.3.x but will not upgrade the major version)?

You can do this, for example, in:
/etc/apt/preferences.d/yourpackage
Package: yourpackage
Pin: version 7.*
Pin-Priority: 999
This would allow upgrades to yourpackage to versions matching 7.*

Thanks so needed this. TBH I google a bit and cannot find some definitive and comprehensive doc for apt pinning apart from tutorials which are sometimes too specific and random docs here and there. Is there some official doc anywhere?

This example works great, but the answer doesn't specify where to put this. Create the file, for example,/etc/apt/preferences.d/yourpackage
