No, I want the exact URL of the package, not the URL of its repository. Such that I can download it with wget if I want. In fact I'd like all "bash" packages in that repository listed, no matter which version or architecture. Well, with RPM repositories this is a good method to determine the architecture of a distribution. The fact that debian keeps all architectures mixed is a bit of a problem, but maybe that can be refined by the path to the repository, not sure, though... > BTW, another remark: the fact to separate repositories into 2 categories is > not natural either with Debian: all binary packages should be in a unique > pool and only metadata are organized by architecture.

Well, if I'd want to manage an OSCAR distribution, I'd aim for only one repository. But that's too time consuming, so we use the distro repository from a distributor or a mirror and take the OSCAR packages from OSCAR. Either locally (like now) or remotely (which also works, but I forgot the URL). If you aim for integrating all OSCAR .deb packages into debian mainstream, cool. But this is neither possible nor intended with any of the RPM based distros. I'd bet this would necessarilly work too soon with ubuntu, either. (Yes, I know you don't want to support ubuntu, but maybe we're lucky and someone interested shows up).
