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 
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.
