Hi,

Thanks for use-package, great extension! This is more of a question (or feature request) than 'issue', but can you pin specific versions or tags of packages? For instance can you specify something like

(use-package helm
:pin "melpa-stable:3.7.0"
)

to ensure that version 3.7.0 published on melpa-stable is installed?

Thanks!

use-package is not a package manager/downloader, it can't. You may like el-get and use-package integrator, use-package-el-get
