Package: reprepro
Version: 4.0.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I recently updated a verry old reprepro instance and it changed the
interface for filter scripts. Before the update it would give the
Packages.gz file as first argument while not it gives the uncompressed
Packages. The filter script used 'zcat "$1" | ...; exit 0'. Since zcat
does not cope with uncompressed files the filter script produced a
completly empty package list. Subsequently all of the mirror was
removed.
Now this isn't reprepros fault but it would be nice if reprepro would
protect aginst this. This could also happen if upstreams Packages file
gets created empty for some reason. It would be nice if reprepro would
have a limit of how much change a single update may produce. Say no
more than +/-10% of the old archive. If more is changed a command line
option should be needed to override this. The 10% should be
configurable obviously.
MfG
Goswin
