You know, it would be useful to have all the versions and all the archs of
a certain package in a single directory. Would make it easier to see the
version breakdown and what archs don't have it compiled at a single
glance.
Maybe something like:
binary/g/grep/
grep_2.3-8_i386.deb
grep_2.3-8_alpha.deb
grep_2.3-7_sparc.deb
grep_2.2-3_m68k.deb
source/g/grep/
grep_2.3.orig.tar.gz
grep_2.2.orig.tar.gz
grep_2.3-7.dsc
grep_2.3-8.dsc
grep_2.2-3.dsc
grep_2.3-7.diff.gz
grep_2.3-8.diff.gz
grep_2.2-3.diff.gz
Satisfies both demands.
