I have patched and recompiled a debian package. By default when I upgrade, apt wants to upgrade it with the SAME version from the repository instead.
Now, I want to convince it (by using apt-pinning, and not hold) to keep the local package if the version is the same, and try to upgrade only if the remote version is newer.
How can I do that?
Just make a local revision and upgrade the version, something like:
dch -v 1.0-1local1
Then pin that version.

I need to use riscv64-unknown-elf-gdb with Clion (on Mac) that is currently supporting only up to version 9.2, I have installed riscv-tools using brew install riscv-tools as instructed here and got the latest version which is 10.1.
After that, I tried brew install riscv-tools#9.2.0 but got: No available formula or cask with the name "riscv-tools#9.2.0"
Is there any way to install a specific older version?
And how bad it is to use an usupported version of gdb with Clion? so far it seems to be working anyway.
A solution in Linux will also be very appreciated.
If you want to get gdb 9.2, you can easily get it from https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdb/ where gdb 9.2 already support risc-v.
I am trying to work with the Hugo static site generator.
Problem: Hugo is saying it is updated to the latest version but it is not.
$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.40.1 linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2018-04-25T17:16:11Z
But the latest version is now v0.70.0
System:
Windows Subsystem for Linux via the terminal in Visual Studio Code v1.45.0
Any help would be much appreciated thank you all.
If you're using a Debian-based system, e.g. Ubuntu, you can download the appropriate .deb from https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases and install it with, for example:
sudo dpkg --install ./hugo_extended_0.70.0_Linux-64bit.deb
I wrote about this in footnote 10 in my Hugo Tutorial.
If you've installed it via the apt package manager, you might be out of luck there, because the official repositories might not be up to date with the latest version of Hugo.
To update the repositories and install the latest available version of hugo, try doing
sudo apt update
sudo apt install hugo
However, I see it's only getting version 0.6x.
If you want to use it on Windows, you could try installing it via Chocolatey or Scoop. Both seem to have version 0.70.x in their repositories, but you'd need to install them first, because they're not Windows out-of-the-box software. Not sure if and how it would work if you use it in the WSL, though.
Otherwise, there's always the good'ol download the binary and save it.
The Ubuntu package manager "apt" does not contain the latest version of Hugo right now. It needs to be updated by the repo owner or similar.
I solved my problem by following a binary install guide here
I'm working with Ubuntu 14.04 and I need to use stress-ng.
If I type: apt-cache policy stress-ng
I obtain:
stress-ng:
Installed: 0.03.15-1~ubuntu14.04.1
Candidate: 0.03.15-1~ubuntu14.04.1
Version table:
*** 0.03.15-1~ubuntu14.04.1 0
100 http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/ubuntu/ trusty-backports/universe amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
So if I run apt-get install stress-ng, it downloads version 0.03.15.
Unfortunately, this version does not allow me to do some things which are present in the last one, 0.07.16, supported by Ubuntu 17.04.
How can I do to use this latest version on 14.04?
You can add the repositories of the newer release to sources.list,and use apt-pinning,this is an advanced feature to install packages from a newer version of Ubuntu.
Check out Pinning.
Pinning is a process that allows you to remain on a stable release of
Ubuntu (or any other debian system) while grabbing packages from a
more recent version.
Note however that the processes described below will only work if
things like libc6 versions match, so you should probably not do this
on an Ubuntu system. I strongly recommend you look at UbuntuBackports
before doing this.
Also you can just download the package and make install.
Hope this helps.
A simple question,
I want to upgrade an existing GIT installation onto my VPS server. The thing is that, when I'm writting into the command line:
apt-get install git-core
I can get only 1.5.6.5 version which is depricated. How to upgrade / reinstall GIT to get 1.7.3 or newer?
You are running a very old version of Debian (version 5). It is not even supported, so maybe consider upgrading it. Otherwise, you may get away with just building a later git version yourself.
I just downloaded node.js via their website and found that the version I had on my local machine was way outdated (v5.11pre). So, seeing that there was a 10.2 version out, I decided to completely uninstall node.js from my machine and reinstall the latest and greatest version!
After going through the steps to install everything I ran the following command and found out something strange:
$ node --version
v0.5.11-pre
Can someone explain why the tarball for node 10.2 just installed a extremely old version of node? Also, how can I get the newest version!?
EDIT:
If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
I guess that the correct version was installed indeed, but your path still points to the old installation.
