Apt pinning the Percona Server for MySQL 8.4 packages¶
Pinning allows you to stay on a release and get packages from a different version. In some cases, you can pin selected packages and avoid accidentally upgrading all the packages.
The pinning takes place in the preference file. To pin a package, set the Pin-Priority to higher numbers.
Make a new file /etc/apt/preferences.d/00percona.pref. For example, add the following to the preference file:
Package:
Pin: release o=Percona Development Team
Pin-Priority: 1001
For more information about the pinning, you can check the official debian wiki.
