Source: mini-buildd
Version: 1.0.7
Severity: wishlist

If I recall correctly, mini-buildd 0.8 did not use reprepro, and the
reprepro backend was only introduced in mini-buildd 0.9. If that is
correct, I fully understand why the update procedure from 0.8x
outlined in the Admin Guide, using the import-08x script does not work
for my 0.9 installation.

I happen to have an old 0.9 installation, and would like to know how
to get my old packages imported into the new 1.0.7 installation. The
reprepro home was moved from $HOME/rep to HOME/repositories/REPOID,
and the new 1.0 fully ignores what was in the old repositories.

>From looking at the import-08x script, which only seems to do the
import into reprepro, there is no need to put the package in some
mini-buildd database.

If that is correct: Is it possible to pull in the old repository via
reprepro's Mirroring / Updating mechanism (see
/usr/share/doc/reprepro/manual.html) or would you recommend adapting
import-08x to import-09x iterating through all source and binary
packages to manually poke them into the new reprepro structure?

Greetings
Marc

P.S.: I know that there is no obligation to offer an upgrade path from
0.9 since 0.9 has never been in a stable release. I still hope for
some help ;-)
