Bug#541261: Please also use prefix for pool when using FakeComponentPrefix
* Daniel Baumann dan...@debian.org [090812 21:49]: when using FakeComponentPrefix, it would be nice if reprepro (at least optionally) could put the packages for a given prefix into pool/$prefix just as debian does it. I think making that possible would be quite complicated. (There might be ways to do, but they would be break horible if that option is changed after package are already added). Is there a reason for storing those file at this place? I only see disadvantages. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

I only see disadvantages. first, debian does it that way and for some people it's important to replicate the same alike repositories. second, it's nifty for mirroring. you can rsync over the whole repository, and exclude the submodules in dists and pool you don't want, and be done with it. no error prone and crappy packages.gz/sources.gz parsing that tools like debmirror need to do and often break or choke up with.

package reprepro tags 54126 + pending thanks * Daniel Baumann dan...@debian.org [090813 16:16]: Bernhard R. Link wrote: Is there a reason for storing those file at this place?

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.
