Variable: package-pinned-packages

package-pinned-packages is a customizable variable defined in package.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

An alist of packages that are pinned to specific archives.

This can be useful if you have multiple package archives enabled, and want to control which archive a given package gets installed from.

Each element of the alist has the form (PACKAGE . ARCHIVE), where:
 PACKAGE is a symbol representing a package
 ARCHIVE is a string representing an archive (it should be the car of
an element in package-archives, e.g. "gnu").

Adding an entry to this variable means that only ARCHIVE will be considered as a source for PACKAGE. If other archives provide PACKAGE, they are ignored (for this package). If ARCHIVE does not contain PACKAGE, the package will be unavailable.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.4.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4.
