One of the problems with this idea that I'm not sure has come up in this discussion is that the build chroots for DIST are generally named for the code name (lenny, squeeze, etc.) so they don't change over time, but debian/changelog will have things like "unstable", "stable-security", "stable-proposed-updates", and so forth. So you need a mapping, and that mapping will change with each Debian release, which means the user really needs to supply it. Once the user is supplying a mapping, it's probably just as easy to map the branch names as to map the debian/changelog values. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
