Version: 0.7.25
Severity: important
I am maintaining a small debian pool (squeeze) for my project and it has both i386 and amd64 packages. Now I need to create Index files (binary-ARCH/Packages.gz and Contents-ARCH) files for the same..
Even though the pool contains packages for different architectures..it is given in the apt-ftparchive manual that using a conffile., generating separate index files are possible..
Conffile
Dir {
ArchiveDir "mirror";
OverrideDir "mirror/indices";
CacheDir "mirror/tmp";
};
TreeDefault {
Directory "pool";
Contents "dists/squeeze";
};
Tree "dists/squeeze" {
Sections "main";
Architectures "i386";
};
BinDirectory "pool/squeeze/main" {
Packages "dists/squeeze/main/binary-i386/Packages";
BinOverride "override.sque.main";
Contents "dists/squeeze/Contents-i386";
};
Default {
Packages {
Extensions ".deb";
Compress ". gzip";
};
Contents {
Compress "gzip";
};
};
and I expect "apt-ftparchive generate conffile" to create index files which contains only i386 packages..but that is not happening and the index files contains the whole lit of both the architectures..
Is this is a problem with my conf file or a bug in apt-ftparchive..

Version: 0.7.26~exp1 Hello Prema, First of all: Thanks for your report! And in this case: Perfect timing. ;) 2010/2/19 Prema <premum@gmail.com>: > and I expect "apt-ftparchive generate conffile" to create index files which > contains only i386 packages..but that is not happening and the index files > contains the whole lit of both the architectures.. > Is this is a problem with my conf file or a bug in apt-ftparchive.. It is a bug in apt-ftparchive - your configfile seems to be correct. A version which hopefully fix this issue was uploaded yesterday to experimental, so i am closing this bugreport now, but feel free to reopen it after 0.7.26 has settled in unstable and the bug still appears (i hope not). In the mean time you can circumvent the problem e.g. with a FileList. Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen, David Kalnischkies
