queries about apt-ftparchive



Hi all,

I have two questions I hope someone can help with. I can provide more
details if required. I'd like to say up front I /have/ attempted to
read the documentation, and yes, I've tried to provide patches where it
seemed wrong [1].

== How can i get Packages/Contents files only containing the specific
architectures data? ==

This one is a bit of a user question, rather then devel, but i'm
willing to do the doco patches if i find out how it works :)

I've tried to set up a simple repo for 3 arches: i386, amd64 and mipsel.
Packages and Contents files are generated for all 3 arches, but all
contain identical data. this happens when using the BinCache option, so
I guess its not a broken package hiding in my caches. I've attached my
apt-ftparchive config, incase its wrongly configured.


== Tree/BinDir structure repositories. ==

Is there a particular reason to create both now? Historical reasons
only? Tree as it is used these days is basically a slightly more complex
version of BinDir

Thanks in advance,
kk

I've also looked at config/debian-security/apt.conf in daks git repo,
but I couldn't see any obvious reason it would work and mine doesn't.
