I would like to keep subjective tags outside of the central debtags repository, delegating such categorization to Custom Debian Distributionss, who have better knowledge of their target. > Can jigdo be told, "grab everything except packages that have > a certain tag? Not afaik, but it's easy to do. Some examples: debtags grep "culture::italian" | cut -d: -f1 lists the names of all packages that provide italian-specific things. debtags grep "!culture::* || culture::italian" | cut -d: -f1 lists the names of all packages except the ones which provide language-specific support NOT for italians. debtags grep "admin::backup && ! implemented-in::perl" can make someone from a previous thread happy. debtags tagsearch <substring> searches the tag vocabulary. As you can see, using debtags to get package lists is easy, and integrating its results in jigdo shoudln't be too hard. If you do report a wishlist bug to jigdo, please X-Debbugs-Cc me so that I can offer help (I prefer not to report the bug myself because I have never used jigdo).
