Package: apt-utils Version: 0.5.4 Severity: wishlist Hi,
I am maintaining an internal, aptable archive that has virus scanner data files. These files are automatically generated on a nightly basis, and put in a directory in out local package pool on the distribution server. Because of the package pool, we need to use the FileList directive to create the Packages.gz files for our internal distribution. Thus, we are currently forced to have a script generate the FileList file for the virus scanner data files. Please consider adding globbing functionality to apt-ftparchive, allowing FileLists like: |[75/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/debian$ cat database/dists/tpl/kav_non-free_binary-i386.list |tplpool/non-free/kav/kav_3.0.136-1tpl6_i386.deb |tplpool/non-free/kav-data/kav-data_3.0.*_all.deb apt-ftparchive currently chokes on that file.
