Hi, (never tried sending a mail to two bugs while closing one of them… lets see how that goes – and sorry already for all the breakage caused)

I have updated the wiki-spec to include a paragraph about by-hash, please everyone feel free to extend/correct/replace it as spec writing isn't my strong suite – and its a wiki after all… ==> https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat - https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat#Acquire-By-Hash - https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat#indices_acquisition_via_hashsums_.28by-hash.29 Sidenote: I also added documentation for the server/client requirements for the arch:all splitout in Contents (and co) and [later?] Packages. And to paraphrase Knuth: Beware of bugs in the above spec/apt; I have only guessed the behaviour from testcases we once wrote for apt, not actually tried it. With that text I consider apts part of the deal done, so I am closing the bugreport, but if there is anything else we should provide or if questions remained open feel free to reopen/ask. Best regards David Kalnischkies
