Package: debpool Version: 0.1.11 Severity: wishlist I am looking for a way to replace my brittle Makefiles with an archive system, which I can use to pre-publish my Debian packages, my NMUs, and any sponsored packages I make. The logical approach here seems to be to use sections: stage, nmu, and sponsor. Thus, I would like to be able to have the following sources.list line give access to the first and third:
http://server/path/to unstable stage sponsor The problem here is that this would require me to change debian/control's Section field to target the right section. I would prefer not to do this, since I know I will forget to change it back before uploading the package to ftp-master. I see three solutions: - make debpool handle an override-style file, which maps source package name to section on the archive - add a field to the source package debian/control stanza, such as: Debpool-Section: stage and fall back to the regular main/contrib/non-free handling if the field is not present. Not sure if this is okay by the policy. - process incoming and check for $PACKAGE.debpool-meta, which can define section (and distribution, while we're at it... unstable makes little sense for private archives). Do you see this as a viable addition to debpool? In addition, it would be awesome if I could select single packages http://server/path/to unstable stage/gjay sponsor/zsync which would only pull in the packages for the corresponding source packages. The solution here is to create indices for each file and to drop them into separate directories sibling to each section's binary-$ARCH and source directories.
