Hi Ansgar,
thanks for the information, I did not know the Package-Type field. Is there a
place where it is documented ?
With the addition of Package-Type, the description of Package-List would be
as follows:
<p>
Multiline field listing all the packages that can be built from
the source package, considering every architecture. The first line
of the field value is empty. Each one of the next lines describe
one binary package, by listing its name, type, section and priority
separated by spaces. See the
<qref id="f-Package-Type">Package-Type</qref> field for a list of
package types.
</p>
I have one more question about Package-List: will it always list only binary
packages, or can it also list source packages as suggested when the field was
proposed ?
Have a nice day,
