Changelog
debmirror (1:2.4.4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* Merge from debian unstable (LP: #555967). Remaining changes:
- debian/{control,rules}: add quilt for patch management.
- Debian bug 455082:
- default-settings.patch: change rsync defaults.
- silence-errors.patch: throw away find errors.
- functionalize.patch: prepare for batching of non-deb files.
- drop-redundant-rsync.patch: clean up logic in rsync batching.
- check_file-return.patch: report why a file needs to sync.
- command-exit-checking.patch: check exit codes of commands.
- skip-installer.patch: allow specific releases to be skipped (Debian
bug 576576).
- rsync-retries.patch: retry if rsync batch fails connection (Debian
bug 576577).
* Dropped rsync Release file batching for now, as it makes merging
much more difficult.
debmirror (1:2.4.4) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix typo in mirror_size. Closes: #575352.
* Change internal use of dry-run variables so that setting $dry_run in
the config file actually works. Closes: #569348.
debmirror (1:2.4.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Don't delete Contents and Translation files if mirror cleanup is done
early. Closes: #568613.
debmirror (1:2.4.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Really allow for Release files without Origin field. Closes: #565593.
debmirror (1:2.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Typo fixes in NEWS.Debian file spotted by Geoff Simmons. Closes: #566377.
* Allow for Release files without Origin field. Closes: #565593.
debmirror (1:2.4) unstable; urgency=low
* The main Debian archive has started to use rsyncable gzip files.
Use the --rsyncable flag when compressing Packages/Sources files using
gzip after applying pdiffs to ensure the md5sum of the file matches the
one in the Release file again. Closes: #560326.
This change may cause unnecessary download of the gzipped Packages/Sources
files for other archives that provide pdiffs but don't have rsyncable
gzipped files; this can be fixed using the new option --gzip-options.
* Fix mirroring of archives without a Release.gpg file. Closes: #561533.
Thanks to Loïc Minier for tracing the issue.
* Allow to specify the local mirror directory in config files.
Closes: #544141.
* Add versioned dependency on perl (>= 5.10). Closes: #551878.
* Improve dependencies on gpgv/gnupg.
debmirror (1:2.3.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Update example configuration (closes: #549955):
- fix error in variable names for setting D-I dists & arches
- add example for setting "extra rsync directories"
* Rename variables so that @dists can be set again in a configuration file.
Closes: #549952.
* Enable LWP::ConnCache for the http transfer method. Closes: #395538.
Thanks to Gregor Herrmann for pointing out the option.
debmirror (1:2.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Support updating Contents files using diff files. This can significantly
reduce the download size when Contents files change. Closes: #436027.
* Because of the previous change the option --pdiff has been renamed to
--diff as 'package diffs' no longer covers its use.
* Fix mirroring archives without a Release file (--ignore-missing-release).
* Minor other fixes and improvements.
debmirror (1:2.2.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Only fetch i18n Index files if needed.
* Fix mirroring D-I images when the archive is also being mirrored for the
same dist. Closes: #547789.
debmirror (1:2.2) unstable; urgency=low
* Allow to include/exclude specific files belonging to D-I images.
* Add support for downloading package translation files. Closes: #436030.
* Move archive size information to a separate file in /usr/share/doc.
debmirror (1:2.1.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Register the trace and lock files only after loading the state cache.
debmirror (1:2.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix location of debmirror.conf. Closes: #544139.
* Don't display download speed if rsync is used. Closes: #422100.
* Support mirroring specific additional files from specific locations on
the mirror: trace files, ./doc, ./indices and ./tools. The transfer
method used for this is always rsync, irrespective of what method is
specified in the --method option. Closes: #153680, #156564.
* Ubuntu uses an identical Codename for different suites, so just ignore
it and use the Suite instead. Closes: #544132.
debmirror (1:2.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Remove duplicated checks of md5sums for Packages/Sources files.
* Improve performance of parsing Packages/Sources files (by a factor of
about 30).
* Revert change in directory removal as otherwise also empty parent
directories of empty directories no longer get removed.
* Fix support for mirrors with need extra directories in dist, such as
security mirrors, which got broken by the suite->codename symlink
changes. Thanks to Christoph Goehre for reporting the issue and testing
the fix. Closes: #543775.
* No longer requires a leading "/" or ":" for the root directory. This
means the same --root option can be used for both http/ftp and rsync.
* Improve accounting of download size and display in B/kiB/MiB depending
on the size of the download. Closes: #520487.
* Don't write the trace file until the meta data is also in place, and
don't write one during a dry run.
* Add option to use a cache file to save the state of the mirror between
runs, allowing for more efficient mirror runs. Closes: #483922.
* Supports mirroring "current" Debian Installer images.
With the option to specify a different set of dists and arches than
for the package archive. In this release there are no progress updates
displayed yet. Closes: #154966.

Based on a patch from Ernesto Hernández-Novich, with thanks.
* Allow for the fact that for experimental the suite and codename are
identical. Thanks to Craig Sanders. Closes: #542929.
debmirror (1:1.0) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch to more common versioning scheme; requires an epoch.
* Clarify version of GPL (version 2 or later).

* Apply patch from Kees Cook to make parsing of Packages/Sources files a bit
less fragile. Closes: #451021.
* Add sanity check after parsing Packages/Sources files to avoid completely
deleting a mirror in case of unexpected errors (#451021, #435663).
* Debian mirrors no longer keep uncompressed packages files; don't include
them on the local mirror either.
* Apply patch from A. Mennucc for more efficient removal of empty
directories. Closes: #453091.
* Various improvements of the man page for:
- the --getcontents switch; with thanks to Slaven Rezic; closes: #524967

Thanks to Raphael Hertzog for the patch.
* Update tables showing archive size in man page, using new mirror-size
script. Closes: #498541.
* Automatically create and update suite->codename symlinks based on info in
the Release file. Directories for dists will always have the codename of
the release. Conversion of existing mirrors that use suites for directories
is supported. See also NEWS.Debian. Closes: #426170.
