2009

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.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:33:46 +0200

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.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:12:05 +0200

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.

   * 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.

 -- Frans Pop <fjp@debian.org>  Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:55:25 +0200

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.

   * Allow for the fact that for experimental the suite and codename are
     identical. Thanks to Craig Sanders. Closes: #542929.

     less fragile. Closes: #451021.

     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.

     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.

   * Applied patch from Robert MyQueen. Great Kudos to him!
     (Closes: Bug#144726, Bug#12998)

debmirror (20020424-1) unstable; urgency=medium

     (closes: Bug#127844)

     of 120 seconds. This timeout is also used for the new rsync method.
     (closes: Bug#130679, Bug#122199)
     Don't even think about annoying me further with timeout problems.
