I have installed a package into my own debian package repository like so:
$ sudo reprepro -b /var/packages/ubuntu includedeb maverick my-package_0.8-0_all.deb
my-package_0.8-0_all.deb: component guessed as 'main'
Exporting indices...
I have installed my package on a few machines using apt-get install.
I have now added new features to my software and would like to add a new minor version of my package to the repository so that I may update my machines using apt-get upgrade.
I try to do this like so:
$ sudo reprepro -b /var/packages/ubuntu includedeb maverick my-package_0.9-0_all.deb
my-package_0.9-0_all.deb: component guessed as 'main'
Skipping inclusion of 'my-package' '1.0-0' in 'maverick|main|i386', as it has already '1.0-0'.
Skipping inclusion of 'my-package' '1.0-0' in 'maverick|main|amd64', as it has already '1.0-0'.
It looks like I need to tell reprepro that this is a new version of the same package but I have no idea how to do this. I have read the reprepro man page several times and searched on the net for a couple of hours but I have not found any answers.
Am I missing something?
Many thanks.
