Hi all, after the last days issues with devuan repositories, i have deeply investigated what broke our amprolla merged repo.
First issue: debian mirror auto geolocation Until some days ago we were using http://http.debian.net as auto geolocation redirect for debian mirrors to be merged. Sadly those were having issues, and then i've changed it pointing to the OVH mirror, and then to the httpredir.debian.org mirrors. They seems to work, but amprolla wasn't yet able to work as expected, so, tonight i have deeply investigated our issue... and i discovered a change in the debian mirror structure. They were used to have both an InRelease file AND a Release ( with Release.gpg ) as main indices for repositories. Amprolla was ignoring Release and Release.gpg files, and it was using exclusively InRelease file, as it was signed and downloading 1 file instead of 2 is more efficient. Apparently something is changed in debian, and now debian mirrors doesn't have InRelease anymore, they instead have only Release and Release.gpg files. For this reason, amprolla was assuming the debian repos were empty, and then it was mergin the devuan repos with "nothing". I've just patched amprolla with a work around to solve this issue, anyway, as the debian repos aren't so stable in structure as i was expecting, a major rewrite of amprolla will be rescheduled to be anticipate, and it will perform a full mirror instead of using only redirects. This would say more bandwidth and disk space for us, but at least we can be sure to not be affected from debian changes like in those days. Thanks for your patience, in few hours the devuan repositories will be up&running. -- Franco (nextime) Lanza Lonate Pozzolo (VA) - Italy SIP://[email protected] web: http://www.nexlab.net paypal: https://paypal.me/nexlab NO TCPA: http://www.no1984.org you can download my public key at: http://danex.nexlab.it/nextime.asc || Key Servers Key ID = D6132D50 Key fingerprint = 66ED 5211 9D59 DA53 1DF7 4189 DFED F580 D613 2D50 ----------------------------------- echo 16i[q]sa[ln0=aln100%Pln100/snlbx]sbA0D212153574F444E49572045535520454D20454B414D204F54204847554F4E452059415020544F4E4E4143205345544147204C4C4942snlbxq | dc -----------------------------------
