Package: reprepro
Version: 1.3.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I use reprepro to manage my packages before they are accepted in the
debian repository. I have 3 distributions : sarge/etch/sid so that users
can download my packages easily if they want (ie before they appair in
official repository)
However, when I prepare my packages, sometimes they have other
distribution names in the changelog. For example, I prepare package for
sarge-backports, etch-proposed-updates, experimental, ...
  When I try to include them, reprepro complains about a wrong
distribution name.

  Currently, I use the --ignore=wrongdistribution to force their
inclusion. However, I would find very usefull is I can put in my
conf/distributions file something as :
Codename: sid
Suite: unstable
Codename-alias: experimental sid-proposed-update
...

Codename: sarge
Suite: stable
Codename-alias: sarge-backports
...

so that reprepro does not complain when I install a sarge-backports in
sarge (but complains when I install sarge-backports in sid)

  Best regards,
    Vincent
