I'm unable to test this out (setting up dak is somewhat intimidating)
but I've taken a look at the source and I think I've found a candidate
solution.
Security uploads are added to the security archive with the
dak/new_securiy_install.py tool. After mirroring to the world the
script config/debian-security/export.sh is run to create the changelog
files and push them to a 'metasdo' server who I can't find any mention
of anywhere else. Presumably this is a counterpart to the metaftpdo
server at metadata.ftp-master.d.o. At any rate tools like aptitude are
looking for changelogs on metadata.ftp-master.d.o for all packages
regardless of the suite so it seems that the world doesn't know about
metasdo.
The code in config/debian-security/export.sh is a copy and paste from
the function changelogs() in config/debian/dinstall.functions. This
function pushes the normal archive changelogs out to the metadata server and I
assume that it works correctly given that changelogs are showing up just fine
there.
In commit 9384026b the changelog() function was changed to use the
static-update-component script instead of the runmirrors (part of
archvsync) script. config/debian-security/export.sh was *not* changed.
I suspect that the easy fix here is a patch like this:
rsync -aHW --delete --delete-after --ignore-errors
${exportdir}/changelogs/. .
- sudo -H -u archvsync /home/archvsync/runmirrors metasdo >
~dak/runmirrors-metadata.log 2>&1 &
+ sudo -H -u staticsync /usr/local/bin/static-update-component
metadata.ftp-master.debian.org > ~
}
which updates config/debian-security/export.sh to use the same sync tool
*and server target* as the regular changelogs. I haven't tested it and
don't have the source for the command but if the static-update-component
is just doing an rsync or something like that it should merge the
directory trees and put the security changelogs side-by-side with the
normal ones. If the ftp-masters have a test version of the archive
there you can probably test this out and makes sure that it's not
clobbering the contents of stuff.
