Package: debmirror
Version: 1:2.48
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear developers,
Since last week-end's DDOS attack, Canonical made some changes in their
infrastructure and libwww-perl's default User-Agent string
(libwww-perl/X.XX) is now blocked, making debmirror unable to mirror
Ubuntu and Launchpad repositories.
This simple patch adds a User-Agent header specific to debmirror
(debmirror/version), making it work again with those repositories.
Regards,
