 Description   

Currently there are mongodb18-10gen and mongodb20-10gen packages for historical releases .. but the 2.2 package is mongodb-10gen ("latest stable"). This implies that when 2.4 is released, the mongodb-10gen package will automatically update.

There should be a mongodb22-10gen package for those who wish to remain on 2.2.x.

After further discussion, a mongodb22-10gen package isn't the right approach to keep a specific version of the MongoDB server installed and this should instead be resolved by SERVER-4808.

Some current options for maintaining a specific version (examples with Ubuntu Server):

1) Create a local package repository so you can control which versions are available:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocalAptGetRepository?highlight=%28%5CbCategoryPackageManagement%5Cb%29

2) Use the pinning/holding feature of your package manager to set a maximum or specific version of a package to install:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto#Introduction_to_Holding_Packages

For example:

 
	echo mongodb-10gen hold | dpkg --set-selections

Note that for Ubuntu you want to "hold" the mongodb-10gen package.
