[Question] How to add multiple architectures into same repository?

[iieklund]

Hi,

If looking at the Aptly itself it supports the following:

$ aptly repo add -architectures="amd64" <search dir for amd64 .deb packages>
$ aptly repo add -architectures="arm64" <search dir for arm64 .deb packages>

There is no such option available when using e.g. this flow:

from aptly_api import Client
aptly = Client("http://aptly-endpoint.test/")

aptly.repos.create("myrepo", comment="a test repo",
                   default_distribution="mydist",
                   default_component="main")

aptly.files.upload("test_folder", "/tmp/mypkg_1.0_amd64.deb")

aptly.repos.add_uploaded_file("myrepo", "test_folder")

The publish api does provive the "architectures" support:

    def publish(self, *, source_kind: str = "local",
                sources: Sequence[Dict[str, str]],
                architectures: Sequence[str],
                ....

Does it achieve the same result if I'm adding both amd64 and arm64 .deb packages via "aptly.files.upload" and "aptly.repos.add_uploaded_file" and upon publishing a snapshot I pass "architectures=['amd64', 'arm64']" ?

Hello @iieklund ,
Reason to not have "architectures" as an option in API Client is that the AptlyAPI server is not supporting such:

`func apiReposCreate(c *gin.Context) {
	var b struct {
		Name                string `binding:"required"`
		Comment             string
		DefaultDistribution string
		DefaultComponent    string
	}`

I'm not even sure if "architectures" flag in CMD (example that you have posted) have any effect on newly created repository. On the other hand "architectures" may have significant effect when publishing a repository. So I believe that what you are trying to achieve should be done when publishing a repository, as you already did!
