Package: mini-dinstall Version: 0.6.31 Severity: wishlist I use mini-dinstall as a staging repository that sits in front of an aptly one. mini-dinstall is useful as it provides all the versions, and aptly allows me to easily select the versions I want to use.
Aptly (versions before 1.0. THat is: versions before Buster) relies on MD5 checksums of packages: https://github.com/smira/aptly/issues/228 https://github.com/smira/aptly/issues/442 Mini-dinstall currently (as of c3615cbdcbf62ec275b047c6739c55a8a424c60b, 0.6.31) does not create MD5 checksums. For my own archive the following patch was good enough: diff --git a/mini-dinstall b/mini-dinstall index 6655c37..ab45f88 100755 --- a/mini-dinstall +++ b/mini-dinstall @@ -1150,7 +1150,7 @@ class ArchiveDirIndexer(threading.Thread): cmdline = ['apt-ftparchive', type, dir, '-o', 'APT::FTPArchive::AlwaysStat=true', '-o', 'APT::FTPArchive::SHA1=false', - '-o', 'APT::FTPArchive::MD5=false'] + '-o', 'APT::FTPArchive::MD5=true'] if arch: cmdline += ['--arch', arch] if not nodb_mode: -- Tzafrir
