So, as a 3rd-party repository maintainer who wants to provide signed Release
files, I should (eventually) get rid of my dists/<dist>/<section>/
<binary,source>/Release files (since future versions of apt will ignore them)
and create dists/<dist>/Release files? Do I understand this correctly?
Presumably the Component and Architecture fields of the Release file will
become obsolete?
This is not a problem for me; I just want to be sure I understand things
correctly. =)
Cheers,
