[one-users] Ubuntu/debian repositories for 4.4

[Gareth Bult]

Mm, this 'can' be unsafe .. for example if you don't upgrade your OS, and a newer version of the product 
is incompatible with your version of the OS, you could too easily upgrade the product to a version that 
won't work ... technically there 'should' be a repo per OS release, for good reason ..

Usually in debian I use the repository stable that is automatically updated to new "stable" version when it goes out (also testing and unstable are automatically updated). I never use versions names (wheezy etc.) 
So it is easier, when a new version is out I simply "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade". No need to change repositories.

The same here ;-) 

As an upgrade requires manual intervention, I propose to use named 
repositories per distribution: 

deb http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/debian/7 retina main 

Using a symlink to point to stable release if required and another one 
to point to numbered version. 

I'm not sure about it but we could use the distribution name as 
component, like: 

deb http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/debian retina wheezy 
deb http://downloads.opennebula.org/repo/debian retina jessie 

It's quite easy to configure reprepro[1] and it's incoming to dispatch 
packages. 

Regards.
