I'd like to install a newer package (xen-tools) from Quantal via apt-get
.
The package is called xen-tools
. It doesn't contain any compiled sources.
I need it on Precise because you cannot use xen-create-image
with the --dist=precise
option. Why? because there is not option for Precise. Creating a symbolic link doesn't fix it. I've tried patching the xen-create-image
script manually but it's not creating a working bootable VM unfortunately.
What is the best way of achieving this without pulling in everything but xen-tools
from Quantal? As far as I know it doesn't contain any dependencies or sources.
Note: I have tried PinningHowto, but /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01ubuntu
is missing and I can't see where you set the default.
