Package: reprepro Version: 5.1.1-1 Severity: wishlist The apt.postgresql.org repo is running reprepro and has served us well, so thanks for this really nice and stable piece of software!
We are serving several postgresql-XX source packages in parallel, and each of them builds a libpq5.deb. To allow them not to conflict, we divert all libpq5 binaries except the default one to other components other than "main". Additionally, builds for beta and devel versions of PostgreSQL are completely diverted to these per-version components. Now when the default PostgreSQL version changes, we upload new packages with the components updated, but as not all binaries/sources receive new versions in the same component, there's cruft left behind. Here's the situation after postgresql-11 has moved from "11" to "main": $ reprepro lsbycomponent postgresql-11 | grep sid-pgdg-testing postgresql-11 | 11.0-1.pgdg+2 | sid-pgdg-testing | main | amd64, i386, ppc64el, source postgresql-11 | 11~rc1-1.pgdg+1 | sid-pgdg-testing | 11 | amd64, i386, ppc64el, source $ reprepro lsbycomponent postgresql-10 | grep sid-pgdg-testing postgresql-10 | 10.5-2.pgdg+1 | sid-pgdg-testing | main | amd64, i386, ppc64el, source $ reprepro lsbycomponent libpq5 | grep sid-pgdg-testing libpq5 | 11.0-1.pgdg+2 | sid-pgdg-testing | main | amd64, i386, ppc64el libpq5 | 10.5-2.pgdg+1 | sid-pgdg-testing | 10 | amd64, i386, ppc64el libpq5 | 11~rc1-1.pgdg+1 | sid-pgdg-testing | 11 | amd64, i386, ppc64el To clean up, I'd like to remove the postgresql-11 source from "11": $ reprepro -C 11 removesrc sid-pgdg-testing postgresql-11 Action 'removesrc' cannot be restricted to a component! neither --component nor -C make sense here. To ignore use --ignore=unusedoption. There have been errors! I think the operation does make sense. Could you allow/implement it? Thanks, Christoph
