The repositories in question also have problems with incomplete source listings, so copyfilter didn't work: $ reprepro copyfilter sid unstable 'Package' reprepro: main.c:1252: action_d_y_n_copyfilter: Assertion `argc == 3' failed. Aborted So, I'm using pulls. OK, I got a sequence like this: $ ls -l dists/ total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 neil neil 9 Jun 23 2008 sid -> unstable/ drwxrwxr-x 3 neil neil 4096 Feb 12 20:35 unstable $ rm dists/sid repeat for each symlink that is wrong. $ sensible-editor conf/distributions comment out Suite: and duplicate each entry - change the Codename of each duplicate from unstable to sid etc. $ reprepro export add "Pulls: fixsid" to conf/distributions in the stanza for Codename: sid, Pulls: fixlenny to the stanza for Codename: lenny etc., create a new file conf/pulls and add: Name: fixsid From: unstable Name: fixlenny From: testing etc. $ reprepro checkpull sid $ reprepro pull sid repeat the pull for each codename: $ reprepro checkpull lenny $ reprepro pull lenny *ensure you are not inadvertently pulling everything only from unstable* (yes, I did this once, but not twice.) check the copy: $ reprepro listfilter sid 'Package' $ reprepro listfilter unstable 'Package' $ rm -rf dists/unstable add / uncomment Suite: unstable etc. for each stanza in conf/distributions. Remove the original stanzas. Repeat for each wrong codename. $ reprepro --delete clearvanished $ reprepro createsymlinks $ reprepro export (probably not necessary but still) $ ls -l dists/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x 3 neil neil 4096 2009-02-13 21:59 sid lrwxrwxrwx 1 neil neil 3 2009-02-13 22:04 unstable -> sid Phew. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ http://e-mail.is-not-s.ms/
