Hi, you wont believe it, but i discussed exactly that already with an ubuntu build system (launpad) developer already. I will give you our combined answer - in my next e-mail reply... Martin Michael Schroeder wrote:
Hi build service folks,
I'm trying to make the repositories the build service creates for debian and ubuntu more similar to what people expect.
I need some advice to find the best solution. Here are some ideas to consider:
doourl = download.opensuse.org/repositories/
1) current layout:
doourl/<project>/<repository>/<arch>/pkg.deb /Packages.gz
apt-get entry: deb doourl/<project>/<repository> /
issues: - non-standard layout, no pooling - Packages.gz not architecture dependent
2) packages pooled doourl/<project>/<repository>/pool/<pkg>/pkg.deb /Packages.gz
apt-get entry: deb doourl/<project>/<repository> /
questions: - shall we omit the "pool" directory?
3) multiple Packages.gz files for architectures no softlink solution:
doourl/<project>/<repository>/pool/<pkg>/pkg.deb doourl/<project>/<repository>/dists/main/main/binary-<arch>/Packages.gz
apt-get entry: deb doourl/<project>/<repository> main main
issues: - the "main main" thing is confusing.
4) multiple Packages.gz files for architectures softlink solution:
doourl/<project>/<repository>/pool/<pkg>/pkg.deb doourl/<project>/dists -> . (softlink) doourl/<project>/<repository>/main/binary-<arch>/Packages.gz
apt-get entry: deb doourl/<project> <repository> main
issues: - mirrors might have problems with dist symlink - dist symlink is at "repository" level, needs changes in mirror-push scripts
the apt-get entry seems to be most debian like
Note also that "real" debian has the pool at "project" level, i.e. doourl/<project>/pool/<pkg>/pkg.deb
I don't think this can be done in the build service, as multiple repositories can create different packages with the same name.
Any comments?
Thanks, Michael.
