Bug Description

Binary package hint: germinate

Basically, what I am trying to do is tell germinate to look for existing packages in the official archive and also in another repository, the dist for this other repository being different than the dist used by the official archive.

If I understood somehow correctly how germinate works, it is currently not possible to define this in the configuration.

For example, in my -meta source package, update.cfg contains something like:

[DEFAULT]
dist: lucid
[lucid]
seeds: desktop
architectures: i386
seed_base: ..
seed_dist: kubuntu.%(dist)s
archive_base/default: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
components: main restricted

I would like to add another repository with my own url and my own dist (so not use lucid).
