Package: reprepro Version: 4.8.2-1 Severity: normaal Hello reprepro maintainers,
When creating an udeb only aptable archive, there is no Release file created in the debian-installer directory. The Packages file is created. The regular aptable archive does get a Release file and an empty Packages file. It could be my ignorance, but to me it is strange behaviour of reprepro. Creating a empty Package file, an unwanted / unneeded Release file and neglecting to create the wanted / expected Release. It is reproducable with the attached script. Part of it output is: aptablearchive/pool/main/a/anna/anna_1.33_mipsel.udeb aptablearchive/dists/demo/Release aptablearchive/dists/demo/main/binary-mipsel/Packages.gz aptablearchive/dists/demo/main/binary-mipsel/Release aptablearchive/dists/demo/main/binary-mipsel/Packages aptablearchive/dists/demo/main/debian-installer/binary-mipsel/Packages.gz aptablearchive/dists/demo/main/debian-installer/binary-mipsel/Packages What is needed for a Release file in the debian-installer directory?
