   hi there,

   I have a local "undigest" where I keep custom builds for some packages also existing on the mirror (e.g. mutt with sidebar patch)

   When I issue a tazpkg get-install it always prefers to get the package on the mirror; so I have to do a tazpkg install /path/to/package/some-package-1.0.1.tazpkg

   Is there a way to give preference to a package in a local undigest instead of the one on the mirror ?

   Is there a way to specify the version of a package I want to install in case I have multiple versions of some package in my local undigest plus the one on the mirror?

   thanx for any insight or reply

   I think 'get-install' means accessing the mirror via the Internet for the install whereas just 'install' requires a specific location of the tazpackage hence if you use 'get-install' option I doubt you could tell it not to download it from the mirror. The way I overcome this issue is by blocking the packages that I have customized for my use in Tazpanel. This way, Tazpanel does not try to re-install or upgrade them.

   @gdesilva: thnax for the blocking tip.

   I blocked a few and I hope to check if with blocked packages I can still get whether a package can be upgraded in case a higher version becomes available on the mirror...

   I have the impression that get-install will always get the internet mirror pkg even if the local undigest is of higher version. I'll check it.
   I also wonder we can specify the package name with its version in the get-install command
   so if I have mutt-1.25.6 on my local undigest and mutt-1.25.5 is on the internet mirror, I can do something like
   tazpkg get-install mutt-1.25.6

   I guess I'll have to check this as well. I'll report back

   @kultex
   thanx for the link. ernia's question is my question. he seems to imply that packages in the local undigest which have higher version that the ones on the repo get priority with get-install over the repo ones.
