Package: reprepro
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have a local repository holding my private backports. That
repository is currently managed with a small set of local helpers and
I would like to convert it to reprepro.

However, in my repository, the .changes files are copied into the pool
as well, and so is an .interdiff.gz file which holds a diff of the
package in question to the previous version in Debian, therefore
making it easy to see which changes were done during the backport
process.

To allow this, it would be great if reprepro would allow a hook script
to be defined in conf/distributions which would be called after a
changes to the repository/pool were done. Via environment variables,
it could be fed with the operation being invoked, the name and version
of the package being installed, the source directory and the target
directory to enable it to do its own copies and/or moves independently
from reprepro.

This being implemented as a hook is elegant because reprepro itself
would not be forced to do things that are - strictly speaking -
incompatible to a Debian repository, while still leaving the "freedom
to choose" to the local administrator.

Please consider implementing this in a future release of reprepro.

Greetings
Marc
