basename somehow to figure out the name, but I feel that this > would be a little surprising. We haven't figured out a sensible scheme for file naming either which was one more reason to not try to make 'apt-key add' work without gpg.

empty. We also can't look if the Release file contains any file for this component as we don't really know what is the component in the filepath: "main/debian-installer/some/file" might be from the component "main", "main/debian-installer" or "main/debian-installer/some". As said, I am not sure. In the end reassigning to ftpmaster might be the best option, but I am open for other opinions. Best regards David Kalnischkies signature.asc Description: PGP signature

ckports. I am just responding to calls to deity(@). ;) The best "fruits" for me in this thread were actually the private replies I got, which I haven't answered as I don't really know what to say, but still are very grateful for as even after all things said in public I actually ended up labeling this experience as good, which I hadn't even considered a potential outcome initially. So, thanks a lot! Best regards David Kalnischkies signature.asc Description: PGP signature
