Package: debmirror Version: 1:2.30 Severity: wishlist Official Debian mirrors have a GPG-signed "extrafiles" file in their root directory. This files lists many files that are present in the mirror (including all those that can be retrieved via --rsync-extra) and there are now tools that rely on this file (simple-cdd for example, see #909299).
So it would be nice if debmirror could mirror that file... it could possibly do it automatically as soon as the user indicated its desire to download other extra files through use of "--rsync-extra". Or it could be a new item among the list of items that can be passed to this parameter. I guess there should also be an option to say "mirror all files listed in extrafiles". Feel free to clone this bug if you want to handle this request separately. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers oldoldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldoldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages debmirror depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 pn libdigest-md5-perl <none> pn libdigest-sha-perl <none> ii liblockfile-simple-perl 0.208-1 ii libwww-perl 6.35-2 ii perl [libnet-perl] 5.26.2-7 ii rsync 3.1.2-2.2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages debmirror recommends: ii ed 1.14.2-2 ii gpgv 2.2.10-1 ii patch 2.7.6-3 Versions of packages debmirror suggests: ii gnupg 2.2.10-1 -- no debconf information
