Hello,

honestly, i would not use this repository for my upgrades as - at
least in the past - major changes have been introduced during the
heartbeat 2.1.3 development. for example the constraints were heavily
modified.

I wouldn't use it for production either. But my point still stands this
repository is hard to use if there isn't a ready to go "apt line" to
work with. And for new users ... and I was a new user two weeks ago ...
it just gets in your way (first impression counts).

from my first impression it might not be possible at all, as apt is
looking for a "dist" directory.

e.g.

deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/
Debian_Etch .

results in a request for:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/ha-clustering/dists/Debian_Etch/./binary-i386/Packages.gz

ah, not being a debian user i didn't know that



it of course is possible to either adapt the opensuse build service
and/or mirror this directory to a custom location where these things
are being taken care of. is there any interest for that?

i think that'd be a great short-term option

long-term however, it'd be really nice if someone could work with the opensuse build service people to get
   deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/[any:project]
to work.

that way all debian users can benefit.
i believe the build service guys would like to see such functionality working but lack the debian expertise.
