Package: reprepro
Version: 3.5.2-3
Severity: wishlist

reprepro pull is too wide, I need to emulate Britney in a reprepro
repository and therefore pull one specific source package (and all
attendent binaries) from unstable to testing, preferably with a single
command to reprepro - a command that includes the source package name.

I don't want to have to set up a different filter each time as
identifying the filter syntax could take longer than actually doing the
operation manually (for packages with one a handful of binaries).

It would be very useful if reprepro could be told:

$ reprepro migrate testing $package

whereupon reprepro would not just run 'includedsc' but also identify the
associated binary packages and run 'includedeb' for each.

reprepro only uses data from the .changes file on the first run of
'include' - does it have a record of which binaries are associated with
a particular .dsc ? I'd rather not have to store .changes files
somewhere outside reprepro.

'conf/pulls' is fine for when I want to migrate all of testing to stable
for a release but step-wise migration of packages from unstable into
testing is much more difficult currently. I have scripts that can
identify which source packages need to be migrated, all I need now is an
easier way to communicate that data to reprepro to actually implement
the migration.

My current manual methods will quickly become unsustainable as more
architectures are added.
