Hi,
Let me summarize:
There are at least 1 bug and 1 concern.
* bug: support for deb.debian.org
* concern: truncated InRelease file
As for the bug of deb.debian.org, resolution can be:
* root cause fix: Support redirect (SRV record?) so apt-cacher-ng
works as expected.
- See http://deb.debian.org/
* work around: Add cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org to /usr/lib/apt-cacher-
ng/deb_mirrors.gz and document to recommend to use cdn-
fastly.deb.debian.org instead of deb.debian.org
- Without adding cdn-fastly.d.d.o to this file, debs are not placed to
the debian package cache and also initialization code to generate
/etc/apt-cacher-ng/backends_debian has problem..
- The same work around needs to be added to security and volatile ...
(If Ubuntu mirror URL uses the same kind of cdn, you may wish to
support them too.)
- Please note deb.debian.org is becoming installation default these
days. If your apt line list normal old-fashoned mirror site such as
ftp.de.debian.org, you may not have as much problem.
As for the concern of truncated InRelease, this happens with cdn-
fastly.deb.debian.org with fesh new cache. If this is not expected
behavior, please think about fixing this. Very reproduceble. For work
around, run apt-get update multiple time until it is neat shape.
Thanks for your attention.
Osamu
