Package: reprepro Version: 4.2.0-2 Severity: wishlist
During the squeeze upgrade period I'd discovered an inconsistency that had entered into my repository mirror. I suspect it happened when I did a pull for the armel packages and didn't specify it correctly. Consequently the wrong packages were then deemed part of the armel release. I was pretty quick in tracking down the problem after the signs pointed to the repository, however until that happened I was naively assuming the repository was valid. As I see it so far, the "checks" that are provided check for internal consistency but not necessarily consistency with respect to an outside source. I propose a "checkrelease" action that will provide information with respect to differences between the local release file and the remote or master release file. Obviously this action can possibly produce too much info and so enough controls need to be available to customize the information provided. If I've totally misunderstood the architecture of reprepro, then I apologize but would like a methodology for validating or certifying the consistency of the local release relative to the master release....if possible.
