The default behavior emulates how tiers worked, + but the resolver can also be configured with custom cost + vectors by setting Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost + to something like this: + + canceled-actions + 2*removals, ignored-recommends, installs + + That says to minimize the number of packages kept at their + current version plus twice the number of removals (i.e., a + removal counts for two keeps). Within that group, ties are + broken by looking at the number of Recommends that were + ignored, and within that group, ties are broken by looking + at the number of new packages the resolver wants to install. + + In addition to custom cost vectors, resolver hints can be + used to create completely custom costs. + + See the reference manual for full details. + + This is not optimized and I expect that pushing it to the + limits will show off all sorts of exponential explosions. + Have fun! + + + [cmdline] Implemented an "aptitude versions" command that I've + been kicking around for a while, to display and search + for individual package versions.
