I have already installed cassandra in ubuntu using with wiki
Problem is I have no control over which version to install and upgrade to in feature.
I am want to be able to install specific version not just latest, because i have a machine running 0.6.2 now i want a another node and i want to install 0.6.2.
How can i install debian package for specific version instead of latest one?
The best way to do something like this, that I have found so far is pinning. This is a little inconvenient at the moment because you have to manually create the pinning preferences (and change them if necessary). Also, the pinning will not work with aptitude in case you use this.
Another example is the pinning I have done for php here. However, you have to make sure that whatever version you want to have is available in the repos/ppas that you have configured in your sources.list (sources.list.d).
