I checked the fixed "mkrepodeb" script.
I noticed that the components in the deb repository have been changed.
In the old OpenPrinting deb package repository (and in our current
repository[1]),
all driver packages had been included in the "main" component.
But the current OpenPrinting deb package repository[2] has 4 components, and
driver packages under "main-nonfree" and "contrib" are not included in
"main".
* main
* main-nonfree
* contrib
* lsbddk
From what you said before, I understood that in OpenPrinting "main" will
contain all packages (including non-free driver packages). Did the
specification
change?
If so, could you tell me the exact meaning of the 4 components above. Also,
in
the future, I would appreciate it if we could be notified ahead of time of
any
changes that might affect external repository maintainers like us.
