[Gnewsense-dev] Debderiver

[Sam Geeraerts]

Hi,

To replace the current "metad" tool [1] we use to set up the gNewSense 3 
repositories I've been hacking on a Python script [2] to do the same. 
Currently, it can only set up a reprepro environment (with FilterLists) 
and "reprepro update" for multiple releases and suites.

Future features:
- include self-built packages (processincoming);
- include third-party repositories (after debmirror; include{deb,udeb,dsc}

Building packages from source is not planned for the short term, but is 
certainly an interesting feature to have.

Comments/patches welcome. If I missed something and it turns out I'm 
re-inventing the wheel, please let me know.
