Hi, I must first apologize for the somewhat lengthy post, but you'll see most of it is just directory structures which you can probably skip.
Here goes: I have a private debian package which I want publish in binary format. I want to supply 2 binary versions: 1. precise/amd64 2. trusty/amd64 My packages are created with debuild and pbuilder and seem to be setup correctly (I tested). The problem happens when I'm trying to create my repository - more precisely, when I'm trying to add the second package to the repository. This is my raw directory structure (the output of debuild and pbuilder): ubuntu@ubuntu-build:~/dev/git/foo/_tmp$ ll -R .: total 16 drwxrwxr-x 4 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Mar 1 08:18 ./ drwxrwxr-x 9 ubuntu

expected: 34618, got: 20194 There have been errors! I read somewhere that reprepro does not support having 2 files with the same name in a repo. is it true? even when the files are in different directories (for different distors)? No way to create pool subdirectories under pool? I briefly inspected mini-dinstaller and mini-dak, but they seem a little overqualified for my simple scenario. I like reprepro for its simplicity and the fact that it does the signing for me, but I really don't want to change package names for it to work. So, my questiona are eventually: 1. is there a way for me to use reprepro without changing my .deb file names? 2. if not, what's the simplest alternative? Thanks, Asaf
