Package: reprepro
Version: 3.11.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Hello,
previous reprepro versions (3.5.2-6 in lenny for sure) used to allow to define
and use Architecture: all in conf/distributions. Now I get this error in such a
case:
Error: Distribution abcdef contains an architecture called 'all'.
There have been errors!
You may wonder what I have been using it for so I will explain. It is common
problem with Debian archive that once a new version of the source package that
has both arch:all and arch:any binary packages is uploaded to the archive,
arch:all packages are propagated to all architectures in the "Architecture"
field. This effectively means that until a new version is built for other
architectures, the package on them is very likely to be uninstallable to due
newer arch:all packages in their Packages files. So here it is how I solved this
problem (with lots of custom scripting):
1) Whenever including a .changes file (which has both arch:all and arch:$arch
packages), -A $arch is used to prevent arch:all from being included into other
arches.
2) Those arch:all packages from .changes are included into Architecture: all
section of the archive via dynamically generated pulls. Hence Architecture: all
always has the newest arch:all packages.
3) Whenever including binary-arch .changes of $arch, pull rules get generated
dynamically to pull the requested version of the arch:all packages from
"Architecture: all" section (remember, "Architecture:all" always has the latest
arch: all packages) to our "Architecture: $arch" section.
This way "Architecture: $arch" is never broken and "Architecture: all" is used
as a staging area for arch:all packages. I have not tested yet if I could use
"Architecture: dummy" rather than "Architecture: all" as such a staging area
for arch:all packages, but I believe I can hence the bug is wishlist. However,
it would be great if you could implement such inclusion behaviour in reprepro
itself. Just let me know if you would like to see my scripts.
Alternative solution (and probably easier overall) to the problem would be to
keep old arch:all packages in the Packages file (and pool) until all arch:$arch
(of the same version) for new arch:all packages are available. I believe APT
can cope with such Packages files properly. This looks like the task of
"Tracking", but it does not seem to affect Packages file processing (unless I'm
missing something) even if debs themselves are kept around.
