[ubuntu] Understanding apt-pinning

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello ! At installation time of ZFS (to boot my system from a zsfs pool), I followed the recommendation and added apt-pinning for this package. Ok, but I made a very big mistake and installed from deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/daily/ubuntu instead of deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/stable/ubuntu The pinning priority is 1001. I fixed this error by modifying the pinning files. What will happen, if I now update/upgrade ?? Will these version be kept on my box ?? Thanks so far and best regards, ++mabra (Hardware)
