Steve Youngs writes: i liked very much the scheme used some time ago, that was removed i don't know why, that is pui using a list of '(host directory) "places" to search for index and packages, so that if a package was not found in the 1st "place", the 2nd, 3rd etc were sequentially tried another scheme that should work is 1. save prerelease packages somewhere 2. copy released pkgs in prerelease directory 3. put back prerelease pkgs 4. make an index of prereleased directory a. release a package i copy it into released directory ii make an index of released directory b. prerelease a package i put it in prerelease dir ii make an index of prerelease directory this shold waste a bit of disk space, but one could use links as well, isn't it?
