Thank you, I will study this. reprepro appears indeed to make it much easier to make/keep a repository structure correct. By the way, any tips for how to efficiently prepare Ubuntu-ready .debs for the N most recent Ubuntu versions, with the right dependencies for each, all with the current (matching) Puppet version?

My impression as an "outsider" is that requests to package maintainers to update versions, are as a general trend not much appreciated :-) On Sat, Feb 14, 2009 at 3:36 PM, Thom May <t...@joost.com> wrote: > Ubuntu and Debian have different policy to Fedora/RHEL, in that fixes > are back ported. > It's extremely rare for new versions of anything to be put into a released > distro for either. At the risk of being too far offtopic here on the Puppet list: I wonder if there are, or will be, any wide-use distributions that work differently, that update incrementally rather than a whole "release" at a time. I imagine a world where I installed once and never upgraded a distro release, but rather got new versions of everything a bit at time. This could easily create more trouble than it solves, obviously. -- Kyle Cordes http://kylecordes.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
