=== piuparts.debian.org ===

Encodes codename combinations like squeeze2bpo2wheezy in a configuration file.

== Requirements ==

=== piuparts.debian.org ===

Want squeeze2bpo2wheezy to not be magically deleted just because jessie became stable. When new stable releases are done, '''new''' piuparts suites (like wheezy2bpo2jessie) should be created, not old ones reused.

Extending Debian repos

We want to enable:

  • Automatic enumeration of suites for a repository
  • Automatic enumeration of repositories for a distro

This page is for exploring the existing solutions, existing hardcoding and requirements for services.

Existing solutions

distro-info

Has the same problems as hardcoding elsewhere but better than hardcoding in lots of places.

Ubuntu

http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release

Tanglu

https://lists.debian.org/CAKNHny8OUnOveJxOmDNhQHcoFJG4PbKgCh4ZBYwuj5QyvF-eFQ@mail.gmail.com

reprepro

Has a configuration file listing all suites with metadata about all of them.

Existing hardcoding

sources.debian.net

Please fill me in zack :)
