Support for '/' in distribution names
Requires special component naming, etc. To be investigated.
Requested by @erickeller in #110.
is there a work-around for this? we're trying to mirror the debian security repo. my commands so far:
aptly mirror create debian-security http://mirror.steadfast.net/debian-security wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
aptly mirror update debian-security
aptly snapshot create debian-security-daily from mirror debian-security
aptly publish snapshot debian-security-daily security
but an updated client will complain with:
W: Conflicting distribution: http://reposerver wheezy/updates Release (expected wheezy but got wheezy/updates)
Yeah, you just create a mirror with wheezy-updates or wheezy-security instead of using slash in the distribution name.
@jschmidt3786 while publishing just override distribution name:
aptly publish snapshot -distribution="wheezy-security" ....
yeah exactly, / is replaced with - so we cannot mimicwhat Debian is doing for the security updates, where the distribution is set to 'wheezy/updates' but with aptly we ended up with "wheezy-security", but what we really want is 'wheezy/updates'
please allow / in distribution name
Hey, I think same issues concerns the prefix values. While trying to publish via api I'm hitting 404, but can publish via cli, though... Is it possible to add support for /api for the :prefix names containing "/" too?
Looking forward to testing this one as it is the last thing I need to have working for aptly to be the perfect tool for my needs :-)
Wow, I'd forgotten about this tool.... Will this feature get into v1.3.0?
Would be great if it did.
Following up on this thread, what's the reason to forbid slash / characters in the publish distribution name? I.e. I'm trying to understand this line of code: https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/blob/v1.4.0/deb/publish.go#L265
