You should pick a version that is compatible with new maintainer uploads, NMUs and security uploads.

After a little configuration you would just do reprepro -b include testing iptraf*changes and reprepro adds the source (if any), the debs, updates the Sources, Pckages, Release and Release.gpg files.

The thing is that if the original poster is running a sufficiently new apt, then it will give preference to "trusted" (i.e., signed) repositories and ignore those that aren't.

Re: Package versioning troubles
Hello, Thanks for the pointers, I have already seen them in the past - and now I hopefully made a proper repository. But to be more specific about the situation: - apt-get update proceeds OK, - aptitude shows the customized package as a version of "iptraf" (this is OK) - I can do apt-get install iptraf=2.7.0-8.0.whatever_custom_version and it works OK, but when "official" iptraf (2.7.0-8) is installed, the iptraf package is not recognized as upgradeable to 2.7.0-8.0.whavever_custom_version (which I would like to achieve). So plain apt-get install iptraf will not do anything Thanks! -Svata Roberto C.

Package versioning troubles
Hello, sorry for a newbie question, but: I have patched a little some package (iptraf, in fact) - and created a package with adjusted version number. I added a changelog entry, changing the patchlevel number (the number after dash), so the new .deb's version is 2.7.0-9 (the original version was 2.7.0-8). When I add it to my repository (rebuild Packages.gz), and do apt-get update ; apt-get install iptraf, the original iptraf package version 2.7.0-8 is not upgraded to 2.7.0-9. I really don't know why, and I suspect I am making some very stupid error. For a short play, the repository is at deb http://belgarat.klfree.net/klfree-debian/ testing unofficial Thanks for any help, -Svata -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
