3.1) Can I have two versions of a package in the same distribution? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry, this is not possible right now, as reprepro heavily optimizes at only having one version of a package in a suite-type-component-architecture quadruple.
My reading of the above, is that it's fine *iff* you have different suites for the different versions. So e.g. you have 1.0-1 for lucid and 1.2-1 for precise -- but uploading a 1.2-2 for precise will delete 1.2-1.
Does that suit your needs, and if so, did you try it?
Nope, I'm after having multiple versions in the same suite. I only really need, say, at most six versions, so I could create multiple repositories and then set something up so that when a file is replaced, it shuffles the to-be-deleted package over to the next repository in the chain, who will do the same.. ..but christ, there HAS to be a proper solution rather than that!
