Patches PPA not pinned [$10]

I have a preliminary patch in my branch. <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dlech/elementaryos/elementaryos/revision/111>

According to <http://live.debian.net/manual/2.x/html/live-manual.en.html#436>...

>APT pinning can be configured either for build time, or else for run time. For the former, create config/chroot_apt/preferences. For the latter, create config/chroot_local-includes/etc/apt/preferences.

I have made the patch address both cases since you were not clear on exactly what you needed.

Here is a diff of the files in tmp/$ARCH/cache/packages.chroot so you can see that it is working:

I should have know better and asked for clarification before I did something. :-)

However, you may still find this useful. It appears that creating the iso image has the same problems with not always getting the packages from elementary os patches ppa when there is a newer upstream version.

I don't think you want to assign this to me. I seem to have fixed the wrong problem. Althought if you could explain more precicly what you are trying to accomplish, as in what should be telling the installer to include the os-patches-overlay-enabled package, I would be willing to look into some more.

This was actually fixed by a combination of me and shnatsel but we opted to forward the cash on to piratelv as thanks for an unrelated favor
