Package: reprepro
Version: 3.5.2-6
Severity: normal
The manpage for conf/distributions is correct but it should warn that if
conf/distributions is setup wrongly for Suite and Codename, untold pain
can ensue in the future.
I've got a few repositories where, inadvertently, different people made
the same error in configuration, setting Suite as lenny and Codename as
testing. This results in the following layout:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 emdebian emdebian 6 Jun 23 2008 etch -> stable
drwxrwxr-x 3 emdebian emdebian 4096 Jan 26 08:00 experimental
lrwxrwxrwx 1 emdebian emdebian 7 Jun 23 2008 lenny -> testing
drwxrwxr-x 3 emdebian emdebian 4096 Jan 26 08:00 oldstable
lrwxrwxrwx 1 emdebian emdebian 10 Jun 23 2008 sarge -> oldstable/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 emdebian emdebian 9 Jun 23 2008 sid -> unstable/
drwxrwxr-x 3 emdebian emdebian 4096 Feb 13 03:10 stable
drwxrwxr-x 3 emdebian emdebian 4096 Feb 13 03:11 testing
drwxrwxr-x 3 emdebian emdebian 4096 Feb 12 20:35 unstable
What should have happened is that etch, lenny, sarge and sid were the
real directories and oldstable, stable, testing and unstable were the
symlinks.
drwxrwsr-x 3 codehelp emdebian 4096 Feb 13 15:04 lenny
drwxrwsr-x 3 codehelp emdebian 4096 Feb 13 15:02 sid
lrwxrwxrwx 1 codehelp emdebian 5 Jan 4 02:59 testing -> lenny
lrwxrwxrwx 1 codehelp emdebian 3 Jan 4 02:59 unstable -> sid
However, trying the simple, obvious approach of simply swapping things
around in the filesystem causes reprepro to get confused and switching
the values in conf/distributions causes reprepro to prevent any further
operations completely. If nothing is changed, reprepro itself carries on
without apparent problems.
So far, I've only fixed up one of these wrongly configured repositories
and it took hours of pain and a mass rebuild of some packages. (Debian
installer refuses to use the repository if the Suite and Codename are
wrongly configured).
Is there a safe, reliable way of reprepro getting out of the resulting
mess? If not, can the manpage be made very explicit that getting these
the wrong way around is a really, really, REALLY bad idea?
