package: reprepro version: 3.9.2-1 reprepro always generates Contents-$arch files, even if nothing has changed. I have etch configured as a pull; this distribution doesn't change anymore. However, each time an export is done, it's contents are generated. Even with --export=changed.
Please add maybe --nogeneratecontents, and/or make it smarter and not rebuild the file each time. Additionally, it seems to take a very long time to generate the file, when nothing has changed. For instance, etch's Contents-i386 is 152M. My fileserver can write at 25M/s, so in theory it'll take just over 6 seconds to write the file. However, as the attached log shows, it takes extremely long to generate.
