New years wish/request from repository owners



Hi,

A lot of unofficial repositories use trivial repository format which
makes it impossible to do apt-pinning for their packages.

Here is the link that tells the general idea about apt-pinning:

Here is the link that explains trivial repository:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto.html#id2781524

I really appreciate all those kind people sharing with us their
works; so this is not as if I am looking a gift horse in the teeth.

But, as it really isn't any more effort to use 'debarchiver' to turn a
repository into an Automatic (or Standard) Debian Repository, instead
of, say, 'mini-dinstall'.

Here is the link for debarchiver:
http://www.opal.dhs.org/programs/debarchiver/

It would make life a little bit easier.

Happy New Year to All;

Cheers,
Ray
