Seems to me apt-move could > just be a tiny wrapper around it. I find reprepro vastly over engineered for what I'm trying to do (Move debs out of a flat directory into a pool somewhere else). Its maintains an internal database of all packages, and it can Get Confused (TM) and require removing/cleaning/recreating. I've had `reprepro -Vb /srv/gnewsense/ deleteunreferenced` running for 4 days on one mirror, and its still not done cleaning up the database. Time to nuke+pave i think. While you could make apt-move a wrapper around reprepro, I don't think it would be replacing two identical tools. with one+ a wrapper. IMO, of course. kk > MfG > Goswin > > -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
