Due to the mail below (and also at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/03/msg00006.html ) we need to migrate the mirror lister module of Debsources from using Sources.gz to using Sources.xz. See: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/qa/debsources.git/tree/debsources/debmirror.py#n195 for a *starting* point.

And while it is not exactly the start of this release cycle, it should still work out nicely (so one hopes). As of now, InRelease/Release files, Packages and Sources no longer provide MD5Sum and SHA1sums, only SHA256. Additionally I turned off generating gzip compressed versions of those files, xz is there. To test it, this is limited to experimental. We hope nothing breaks on it, but lets try for a few days. If that works out, we should adjust unstable, and another short time later coordinate with the release team to adjust testing, so it ends up in the next release. Have fun. ----- End forwarded message ----- -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.utf8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
