The changes are:

• Moved RPM repositories and snapshots into a /rpm subdirectory
• Moved RPM snapshots into their $releaserversion subdirectories
• Moved DEB repositories and snapshot into a /deb subdirectory
• Added a way to sync RPM repositories having the same name but different release versions .rpm repositories not showing all specified releases versions on UI #245, Feature request [RHEL] - Add release number automatically at the end of the reponame name (And URL) #260

👉 What does it break?

These changes will cause the URL endpoints of all repositories to be changed. For example:

RPM repositories

• Old URL: https://repomanager.example.net/repo/almalinux-baseos_prod
• New URL: https://repomanager.example.net/repo/rpm/almalinux-baseos/8/prod

DEB repositories

• Old URL: https://repomanager.example.net/repo/debian/bookworm/main_prod bookworm main
• New URL: https://repomanager.example.net/repo/deb/debian/bookworm/main/prod bookworm main

⚠️​ This means that your client hosts will need to update their repository URLs accordingly. If your hosts use linupdate, this will be done automatically (version 3.11.0 recommended). Otherwise, you will need to update the URLs manually by selecting your repositories snapshots and clicking on Install to get the new configuration.

👉 What are the benefits?

• You can now have multiple RPM repositories with the same name but different release versions which was not possible before. Example:

• The files and directories structure is more organized, RPM and DEB repositories are now separated into their own subdirectories and this will allow support for more package types in the future (Arch Linux for example).
