Bug#751728: apt-get warns about "stable-updates"



Control: tags -1 - patch
Control: retitle -1 component release files do not contain codename
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org

Hi,

(late, but better late than never…)
reassign to the ftpmasters as the archive is their realm rather
than the realm of apt - apt is just a client using it…

This is reported in #509574 (and merges) as well as #714726.
The warning is caused by the content of the 'usual' release
Release files - see these bugs for details.


I leave this bug open for the other issue you reported:

APT isn't using these files. You can 'force' it to do it by using this
directory as a flat-repository. Not a good idea as this would be
unsigned and all, but well your choice. In terms of apt it might be
equally well to drop these files entirely as unsigned flats work "fine"
without a Release file, too – and it looks even more like a bad idea
this way (which is always good).

I don't know about other (non-)users of these Release files through.


Best regards
