As I said once you get outside users or have a stable/testing/unstable
mix yourself you will need backports. Having dist reflect the dist for
which the debs are compiled for served me well. The section and the
origin (in the release file) are enough for me.
At home I even have a /dists/sid/core/binary-arch/Packages.gz for a
stripped down repository for boot-floppies / debian-installer /
(c)debootstrap to install from.

It becomes important if you want to provide experimental packages that
shouldn't get installed unless requested. I had a patched mount here
and mldonkey. Not everyone that wanted mldonkey would want my mount.

Hi, I'm seeking a sponsor for pizza-business, a pizza restaurant simulation game. This closes #180789. The package is lintian clean except for: W: pizza-business: menu-item-creates-new-section Games/Simulation /usr/lib/menu/pizza-business:2 which I think is a lintian bug (being out of sync with menu policy, correct me if I'm wrong).

Can someone please check my package? (no need for a sponsor, I'm a DD)
Hi, I've spent quite some time recently trying to generate correct packages for em8300. These are quite complex packages with source for a kernel module, a library, quite complex maintainer scripts, complex upgrade from previous versions, etc... I don't feel self-confident enough to upload this to unstable, so this upload will be targetted for experimental. Anyway, I'd be very happy if someone could check them beforehand... The source package is available at http://people.debian.org/~nboullis/em8300-experimental . I know I still have a few things to do: * check if it complies with the latest policy and bump standards-version, * switch to po-debconf. Anyway, I will probably upload the package to experimental next week-end. Thanks in advance, Nicolas pgppBWfi3hEGO.pgp Description: PGP signature

I took a look at the copyright file in the package and from this document I believe that the package could still remain in the archive, but it may need to be moved to the non-free section of the archive though because of the licensing restrictions. Basically what the license file says is that the patches can not be used in a commercial environment so this would mean the package would qualify for the non-free section and have to be moved out of main.

The copyright file currently included with the package is not authoritative; please review the bug log in detail. In particular, "timidity-patches is basically the MIDIA patch set. MIDIA is a straight copy of the patches from the original GUS drivers for DOS, created by EYE&I productions; there is no license permitting free redistribution."

I didn't do this. I followed the comments below by Goswin for my
structure. In fact, pool doesn't appear in my sources.list at all. (just
fyi)
That means (replace {dist} and {section} with sid,main or sid,local):
repository/dists/{dist}/{section}/binary-/Package.gz
reposirory/pool/
Question: Since this is a local-use only repository, wouldn't it make
more sense to give this a {dist} name that isn't linked with the current
debian builds - sid, woody, etc. It's clear I can name the dist anything
I want locally but current good practices should dictate what the name
should be. Any recommendations?
You can then generate the Packages and Sources files like this:
% cat repository/update.sh
cd repository
dpkg-scanpackages pool /dev/null
>dists/{dist}/{section}/binary-i386/Packages
dpkg-scansources pool >dists/{dist}/{section}/source/Sources
gzip -9 dists/{dist}/{section}/binary-i386/Packages.gz
gzip -9 dists/{dist}/{section}/source/Sources.gz
And in sources.list:
deb http://repository {dist} {section}
I used file:///{repos name}. But I believe that is minor.
You should also create Release files which you can mostly copy from
debian. Take care to change the Origin for BTS purposes though.
I haven't done this yet. Still getting my feet wet. But pinning is

What linitian is trying to say is that you are depending on an essential package (in this case gzip). In most cases this is unecessary as all packages can assume essential packages are installed. The only reason why you would specify an essential package is if you require a specific version or versions of an essential package. In that case you would obviously need a version string. The problem with the lintian message is the emphasis is on the version string, rather than why have it depend on gzip in the first place. - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.enc.com.au/ MIEE Debian developer csmall at : enc.com.au ieee.org debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I reported a bug against apt a long tim ago about the linking and it got closed as feature. Seems to have anoyed enough people to add a copy://.

timidity-patches
Hi guys. I'm interested in working on the timidity-patches package and am in need of a sponser for the package because I am not currently an official Debian developer yet. Is there anyone out there willing to sponser this package for me? Thanks, Tommy pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
RFS: pizza-business
Hi, I'm seeking a sponsor for pizza-business, a pizza restaurant simulation game. This closes #180789. The package is lintian clean except for: W: pizza-business: menu-item-creates-new-section Games/Simulation /usr/lib/menu/pizza-business:2 which I think is a lintian bug (being out of sync with menu policy, correct me if I'm wrong). The package can be found here: http://www.komite.net/laurent/debian/pizza-business/ Regards, Laurent. pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Can someone please check my package? (no need for a sponsor, I'm a DD)
Hi, I've spent quite some time recently trying to generate correct packages for em8300. These are quite complex packages with source for a kernel module, a library, quite complex maintainer scripts, complex upgrade from previous versions, etc... I don't feel self-confident enough to upload this to unstable, so this upload will be targetted for experimental. Anyway, I'd be very happy if someone could check them beforehand... The source package is available at http://people.debian.org/~nboullis/em8300-experimental . I know I still have a few things to do: * check if it complies with the latest policy and bump standards-version, * switch to po-debconf. Anyway, I will probably upload the package to experimental next week-end. Thanks in advance, Nicolas pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
