Just put out yet-another snapshot of apt-repomd: http://laiskiainen.org/apt/testing/apt-repomd-17032006.tar.bz2 What's new in this is the first step of a massive rework of rpm data related handling, and as you may notice it has already reduced the code size somewhat, more size-savings are coming once it's completed. Please help testing this one - the changes affect all repository types and I'm certain there are regressions in dependency handling etc I've missed in my limited testing last night. There aren't any "new features" in this one really, but the fact that repomd and old style apt repositories now share a large amount of code means that for example allow-duplicated works now with repomd (whereas it was previously not handled at all). Build-dep operation is completely broken by this snapshot, source repositories of repomd still aren't supported and apt-cache still doesn't show full dependency information in all cases, those are the next steps now. When testing, look for anomalies in installs, upgrades etc - eg dependency handling of normal operations and such. - Panu -
