After reading bug #667614 I can offer a proposal: Suppose we have a directory for vendor/release information. For the scope of this comment, let's call it 'vendor.d'
Whenever Debian and Ubuntu make new releases, they would then update corresponding packages, which would update the files vendor.d/debian-dists vendor.d/ubuntu-dists If you wanted to build a package for the "Esoteric" vendor "Iffy" release, you could install a vendor-info package for "Esoteric". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1012459 Title: carve out distro information to a separate package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lintian/+bug/1012459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
