Package: reprepro Version: 1.3.1-1 Severity: minor I set up reprepro on a new machine by copying a conf/distibutions file froma working installation. I commented out the two stanzas I wasn't using (with # chars) and made some changes to the first stanza.
Then I tried to do reprepro export to set up initial structure. This gave the error: --- While parsing distribution definition, required field Codename not found! Stop reading further chunks from './conf/distributions' due to previous errors. There have been errors! --- This message does not convey at all that it is referring to the commented-out stanza, so one can spend a _very_ long time staring at the stanza containing real data, wondering what on earth is wrong with it. Just one line like this: # after a blank line will cause the above error. It would be much better if reprepro just ignored stanzas which contained nothing but comments, or at least gave a clue which part it was referring to. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.3-bytemark-uml-2 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages reprepro depends on: ii apt 0.6.46.4-0.1 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii libarchive1 1.2.53-2 Single library to read/write tar, ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.3 4.3.29-8 Berkeley v4.3 Database Libraries [ ii libgpg-error0 1.4-1 library for common error values an ii libgpgme11 1.1.2-5 GPGME - GnuPG Made Easy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime reprepro recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
