Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
Currently these the official packages repositories: - release v=5.0.6,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian,c=main - release o=Debian,a=testing,n=squeeze,l=Debian,c=main - release o=Debian,a=unstable,n=sid,l=Debian,c=main - release o=Debian,a=experimental,n=experimental,l=Debian,c=main - release v=None,o=Debian,a=testing,n=squeeze,l=Debian-Security,c=main - release o=Debian,a=squeeze-volatile,n=squeeze-volatile,l=Debian,c=main - release v=label=Debian Backports,o=Debian Backports,a=squeeze-backports,n=squeeze-backports,l=Debian Backports,c=main The first inconsistency is related to the name set on origin (o=) field. Most of them have this field (correctly) set to "Debian" with the exception of backports repository which has "o=Debian Backports". The second inconsistency is related to the name set on label (l=) field. The first four (constant) repositories for stable+testing+unstable+experimental have this fiedl correctly set to "Debian". For the other three repository I'm proposing to use the same convention used for the security repo "l=Debian-Security" since it would be very had to change it. Thus these should be changed: - for volatile set label field to "l=Debian-Volatile"; - for backports set label field to "l=Debian-Backports". The third inconsistency is related to the name set on archieve (a=) field. It is set correctly (IMO) for the first five listed repositories but it should be changed for consistency to the last two: - for volatile set archieve field to "a=testing-volatile"; - for backports set archieve field to "a=testing-backports". The change from "testing" to "stable" will be performed as usual for all of them. The fourth inconsistency is related to the name set on codename (n=) field. It is set correctly (IMO) for the first five listed repositories but it should be changed for consistency to the last two: - for volatile set codename field to "n=squeeze"; - for backports set codename field to "n=squeeze". This way all repositories meant for squeeze will have the same codename. On a separate note, the "v=label=Debian Backports" for the backports repo seems redundant since there is a specific label field for this.
