Public bug reported:
[Impact]
zsync is extremely useful to those of us who need to test .iso images
often. In personal experience, 0.6.3 contains enormous improvements over
0.6.2 in resolute due to a number of new features and performance
improvements. Per its NEWS file:
Changes in 0.6.3
- Performance improvements for large (>250MB) files - on multi-gigabyte files
this can be a very large improvement.
- Tuning to reduce likelyhood of hitting bad performance due to bad checksum
distribution.
- Fix case where client would think download succeeded and try verifying it
when it had really failed.
- Fix a problem where the client could get into a loop retrieving data if the
remote returned data inconsistent with the .zsync file.
- Improvements to some of the error and progress messages.
- Stop zsync requesting bytes past the end of the target file.
- Fix bug where mtime would be set to something offset from the intended value
due to timezones.
- Fix a case where auth headers could be send to the wrong server across a
redirect. Send auth headers unconditionally when username & password are
provided.
- Fix compilation with gcc-14.
- Other optimisations.
[Scope]
* Backport zsync 0.6.4-2 from stonking (dev series)
* Backport to 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon)
[Other Information]
Reverse Depends:
* Not a build dependency.
- vanilla-gnome-desktop
- quickemu, which presumably uses zsync as a runtime dependency for
downloading .iso images. This has been tested and there are no regressions here.
Reverse Recommends:
* Metapackages only:
- kubuntu-desktop - ACK obtained from rikmills
- ubuntu-budgie-desktop - ACK obtained from fossfreedom
- lubuntu-desktop - ACK obtained from arraybolt3
Maintenance:
* Further backports of zsync will be provided by myself to noble with
newer versions in the devel branch as they come. Each one will be
regression-tested against quickemu.
