What do you suggest then? debian_rev = "0snapshot" and signature = "Pike Snapshot Export snapshots@pike.ida.liu.se"?
It would be reasonable to have the mail address of whoever made the build. It would also be reasonable to not have the Pike export automatically update the debian packaging files though.
[1] I think I've asked this before but without getting a satisfactory answer: What the heck *is* it you get from (the exact URL) http://pike.ida.liu.se/generated/pikefarm/packages/7.6/ (and .../7.7/)? "file" identifies the format as "Raw G3 data" (Group 3 fax??), but that can't be right. It's no directory listing, because the files named in it don't exist, save for the most recent one. Why is there no public repository of older snapshot tarballs (in particular, the most recent well-defined version would be of interest)?
The mountpoint at /generated/pikefarm/packages/7.7/ is handled by the xenofarm_fs module which you can find if you check out xenofarm from :pserver:anonymous@cvs.lysator.liu.se:/cvsroot/xenofarm
What you are actually getting though I have no idea. Looks like some very weird bug to me.
