beta repository: updates fail because of wrong versioning

[mviereck]

In the winswitch beta repository for debian xpra versions r23061 and r23066 have a different name scheme than the other version packages.
This prevents apt from installing the real latest version.

I've been stuck with r23066 since weeks because apt/debian believes it to be the latest version.

I was wondering why I did not get an xpra update for a long time until I had a look at ​http://winswitch.org/beta/buster/main/binary-amd64/ today.
Manually choosing and installing r23522 worked. However, my next system update will install r23066 again.

Ah, right, those were built as release versions but landed on the beta channel by mistake.
I've just deleted them and re-created the repo data, this should do it.
Though you may have to remove the version you have installed and then apt-get update

Thanks! xpra-python2 and xpra-python3 packages are fixed now.
Still wrong:
xpra-html5
xpra_3.0 (at end of ​http://winswitch.org/beta/buster/main/binary-amd64/)

Still wrong:

Oops, sorry for the sloppy job, did that in a rush.
Should be OK now.

[mviereck]

Still a bit left:
python2-xpra-dbgsym
python3-xpra-dbgsym
:-)

[Antoine Martin]

Whoops, forgot about those. Done. Thanks!

Can I hijack this ticket and request a similar fix for CentOS on the beta repo...

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

That's odd, the packages are there. Maybe createrepo failed or something.
I've uploaded some new packages and I will try CentOS 7.x soon.

[Antoine Martin]

Damn, that had been broken for a while too. Thanks for reporting that.
Fixed in r23547. There are new beta packages for centos7.

[Mark Harkin]

Great, thanks, it's working now.

I'm working mainly with a custom build so not using the beta repo so often.
