Package: reprepro Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, my private repository has a number of linux kernel packages, which have ABI version encoded in the package name, so package names get retired often, and newer source versions build different package names. As a result, old packages accumulate over time. It would be nice to have a mechanism that allows me to remove binary packages from a distribution that were built from a source version that has been superseded, if binary packages for that architecture for the current version also exist, or the source package has stopped building binaries for that architecture altogether. i.e. if Source: a Version: 2 Architecture: any Package: a1 Version: 1 Architecture: x Source: a (= 1) Package: a2 Version: 2 Architecture: x Source: a (= 2) are present, then package "a1" is obsolete and can be removed. As a corner case, it can also be removed if "x" is no longer listed in the source package's Architecture field (but if "all" is listed, those should be installed into architecture "x" before the old version is removed).
