R: How to select specific version for Debian distribution and packages.

[Giorgio Buffa]

Hi Steffen.
I need to be able to automatically re-create the exact system (OS and
configuration) provided to my customer. The documentation says the system
must be Debian v8.0.0. That's the reason behind my request.

Thank you for your hint, I'll investigate.
Kind regards,
Giorgio B.
