Hi guys. I'm picking this up and have already pushed what I think
already is working code at Gitlab[0].
This next week I will be travelling so I can't attend more, but once I'm
back I will deploy this on the amprolla testbed and announce it here so
people can test it out and see if everything is fine and there are no
glitches.
Someone asked:
> is this the same issue we have for -security?
No, this is something else. Since jessie was moved to archive.debian.org
in Debian, we have to add a new repository to merge in Amprolla. Since
this repository's structure is exactly the same like deb.debian.org:
once downloaded, it would overwrite the other files. This patchset
changes the spooldir structure to go one directory deeper, and separate
them by their domain name/IP address.
This way we avoid files being overwritten, add more robustness, and
allow multiple repositories with the same directory structure to be
merged.
Another improvement that I implemented is that now we explicitly choose
which suites to take from which repository using a list.
Disclaimer: I am just reporting my progress and not asking for reviews.
Thanks. That time will come.
