properly it'll be easier to decide how to control/manage it. I think that it will be better to work in that direction first, since it will be needed anyway. I have a small amount of code that I've started on. It doesn't do anything yet, but create the distribution and updates files in the conf/ directory(ies). I also have a bit of code to help merge filterlists, but I don't have any code that actually creates the lists and uses them in the reprepro config. Once I figure out where to upload the code, I'll let you know. -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
