[ Reason ]
Mirroring Ubuntu no longer works due to DDoS mitigations.
[ Impact ]
Raphaël Halimi reported in https://bugs.debian.org/1135891:
> Since last week-end's DDOS attack, Canonical made some changes in their
> infrastructure and libwww-perl's default User-Agent string (libwww-perl/X.XX)
> is now blocked, making debmirror unable to mirror Ubuntu and Launchpad
> repositories.
[ Tests ]
I've tested this manually as follows:
debmirror --method=http --host=archive.ubuntu.com --root=ubuntu
--dist=resolute --rsync-extra=none
--keyring=/path/to/local/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg --progress test-mirror
(I also ran a similar test against deb.debian.org to make sure that
still works OK.)
[ Risks ]
It's hard to say for certain whether anything will object to the
different User-Agent, but in general setting a more specific User-Agent
is usually a good thing in this sort of tool. The change itself is
pretty trivial.
[ Checklist ]
[x] *all* changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in (old)stable
[x] the issue is verified as fixed in unstable
[ Changes ]
Set "User-Agent: debmirror/$version".
