Hi Andrey, could you describe what is required please? If you mean the same .deb contents installed in multiple DocumentRoot directories, I don't think I've head of any Debian/Ubuntu package installing that way, so I suspect it may be against distro policy. Users who need that ability should probably be steered towards the tarball install.

right, that what I meant. You recommended me to create an issue when I mentioned about deb one copy limitation (remember?)

According to http://webapps-common.alioth.debian.org/draft/html/ch-httpd.html#s-httpd-virtual it should be possible to have multiple virtual hosts, i.e. one instance of Newscoop with one DocumentRoot but an Apache configuration with several ServerName entries corresponding to Default Publication Alias settings in Newscoop.

Having multiple versions of the same package is neither standard nor trivial.

quoting http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570623

"Having one version of a package per distribution/architecture/component/type quadruple is heavily built into the database layout and all the internal logic.
If you want different versions of the same package in the same architecture with reprepro, you need to either store them in different distributions, or you can create snapshots of distributions."

  - we could use a distro snapshot for each version of airtime - but that's lame and lots of overhead.
  - we could add the version to the package-name and make a meta-package which depends on the latest version - also lame

Realistic: Only keep the last two versions and use a dedicated distribution for those. Actually we already have that with the testing repository.
