How to Pin the Version or Stop Using the Repositories

[Lozminda]

Official pacman repository for ST3 has ST4 in it

If you’re using the Linux repositories you can either pin the version or simply stop using the repositories as there won’t be any more updates to ST3. If you’re not on Linux then you can’t disable update checks without a license key, either evaluate the latest version or deal with dismissing the dialog.

Hi, I think the question probably nails it. How do I pin the version? And which repository ? As far as I’m aware I’m not using git for anything, or is that how the package manager works ? So I won’t be able to install any packages any more? (Have been thinking about installing LSP etc.) Could you point me in the right direction please ?

Cheers

Ps Tried googling "Pinning Sublime Text " and “Pinning an app in linux” but it thinks I’m talking about pinning an app to the dashboard, which I guess isn’t meant by @bschaaf 's comment…

Pps D’oh ! I think I get what you mean now, but it might be handy for other folks…
I installed my version of ST3 from a tarball, so didn’t use a repo. On installation does ST3 automatically open the ST3 repo ? I guess I’ve just got to delete that repository… I’m just doing some research on what’s the difference between what wget does and what a repo is. Any idea which repository I have to delete please (save me some work ) Ta !

Deleted the Sublime-Text.list from /etc/apt/sources.list.d

It doesn’t stop you downloading Packages, phew (that’d have totally killed me off)

I guess I’ve got to delete the key too…

(To those folks that say ST is in the background, in the ideal world, all this has taken me a couple of hours today. Work in progress, work in progress )
