Hi Bernhard,

I quite often have to do the following:

reprepro include squeeze some.changes
reprepro include wheezy some.changes
reprepro include lucid some.changes
reprepro include oneiric some.changes
reprepro include precise some.changes
reprepro include quantal some.changes

It would be nice if could do that like this instead:

reprepro include squeeze,wheezy,lucid,oneiric,precise,quantal some.changes

The same counts for the includedsc and includedeb subcommands.

* Axel Beckert <abe@debian.org> [121214 18:09]:
distribution you put it into (consider for example the case that the
different distributions can have disjoint components) and as the include
command is not really prepared for those differences, this is not very
likely to be implemented anytime soon (and not even very likely to be
implemented at all).

Note that processincoming support somethine like that. You can have
an upload queue that has fields like

Multiple: yes
Allow: everywhere>squeeze everywhere>wheezy everywhere>lucid ....

(plus the of course the usual Name: and *Dir:s) to have packages to
be put into all those distributions at once.
