Hello every body ! In my company we are using Reprepro as a Debian repository manager. This manager doest not allow multiple versions of a same package identified by its name. So we have organized or build promotion workflow using multiple distributions : Demo / Staging / Production / Archives As a result, we were using simple shell scripts for our deployment with the following syntax : `apt-get install /` That has the advantage to force a downgrade of the package and behave pretty much like this command for a selection. `apt-get install =` However, it seems that Ansible APT module does not support this format with the parameter “name” ` msg: No package matching ‘PKG\_NAME/demo’ is available ` Whereas : ` # apt-get install PKG\_NAME/demo Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done Selected version ‘2.4.0-1.0.0+128.g8cd3d55’ (company-demo:6.0/demo [all]) for ‘PKG\_NAME’ The following packages will be DOWNGRADED: PKG\_NAME 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 downgraded, 0 to remove and 8 not upgraded. Need to get 65.9 MB of archives. After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n Abort. ` Have you any idea how I could do it ? Is it a good idea to use distributions like this ? Any point of view ? Thanks a lot for your feed back 🙂
