fwiw, there is also the "portext" command, letting you do "no changes ports" just from a DSC-URL to any mini-buildd distribution. > I suggest that we provide a series of template similar to official > Debian repo. (...) Iiuuc ;), there actually is such a thing via the Layout (see extra options). There is also the per-wizard-predefined Layout "Debian Developer" which already comes with aliases for sid afair: --- Supported extra options Meta-Distributions: META=CODENAME-SUITE[ META=CODENAME-SUITE[...: Support METAs alone as distribution identifier. Meta distribution identifiers should be unique across all repositories; usually, a layout with meta distributions should only be used by at most one repository. Example: Meta-Distributions: unstable=sid-unstable experimental=sid- experimental (see standard layout 'Debian Developer'), to allow upload/testing of packages (to unstable,experimental,..) aimed for Debian. --- I hope that is what you are looking for?
