I think I found a solution: Instead of telling reprepro to put the files
to a different place, one can just change the components to where one
actually wants them. This then only need some code to not have the
prefix than stored in the path of the dists dirs multiple times, which
I committed to CVS and which will be in the next version.
(i.e. it will then be possible to have
Codename: name/bla
FakeComponentPrefix: bla
Components: bla/name1 bla/name2
which (with or without FakeComponentPrefix already stores files in
pool/bla/name*) but have the same look in dists as one now gets with
the same without the bla in Components.
Hochachtungsvoll,
