Whenever I add a new version to a reprepro repository, it forgets and deletes the older package by default. I want to keep it, so I use --keepunreferencedfiles to the config:

$ reprepro --keepunreferencedfiles includedeb stable /path/to/jjdns_0_4.5_amd64.deb 
jjdns_0.4.5_amd64.deb: component guessed as 'main'
Exporting indices...                                                                     
1 files lost their last reference.                                                       
(dumpunreferenced lists such files, use deleteunreferenced to delete them.)

Now I have jjdns_0.4.5 referenced, and jjdns_0.4.4 in the repo, but not in the index:

$ grep -A1 "Package: jjdns" dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages
Package: jjdns
Version: 0.4.5

Question: how can I add 0.4.4 back to the index? Or, even better, not remove it when uploading 0.4.5?

  • This is somewhat of a limitation for apt. It doesn't really have this multi-version in a single repo support. – jordanm Apr 11 '22 at 15:12
