Package: piuparts-master Severity: important As a protection against network problems piuparts-report should validate the downloaded Packages and Sources files against the md5/sha* hashes in the Release files. There is no point in verifying the Release signatures (that is done by apt in the slave chroot anyway).
I had just observed that piuparts-report archived half a section after it downloaded a partial Packages.xz due to some network problems. That probably didn't result in a (ignored) download error. piuparts-master could do the same, but the impact there will be much smaller: it might not send out new work or discard the logfiles it receives. As a quick hack to limit the impact of network glitches we should limit the archival to 1000 packages per section and piuparts-report run. Andreas
