Description:
mirrorrib - tool locally to mirror a Debian release, including backports
Closes: 993486
Changes:
mirrorrib (0.14.4.2) experimental; urgency=low
.
* FTP Master having autorejected (0.14.4.1) with the
message, "Source-only uploads to NEW are not allowed," re-uploaded
with source.
* Following the Release Team's advice in
[https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2019/07/msg00002.html],
switched the upload from unstable to experimental.
.
mirrorrib (0.14.4.1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Uploaded to sid (closes: #993486).
* Observed that despite the previous version's changelog, the
previous version, (0.14.4), was not actually uploaded -- the reason
being that the previous version did not close the associated WNPP
report, whereas this version's changelog does close it.
* Observed that the package has not otherwise changed since
version (0.14.3).
* Observed that the package is backportable without modification
to bullseye, for it builds and runs on a bullseye machine as well
as it does on a sid or bookworm machine.
* Observed that, as of this date, Lintian is still
checking Standards-Version 4.5.1. Therefore, in debian/control,
have not yet claimed to conform to Standards-Version 4.6.0.
(Nevertheless, the maintainer has manually checked, having reviewed
the changes between debian-policy 4.5.1 and debian-policy 4.6.0.
Those changes do not affect this package; so, inasmuch as the
existing Lintian finds nothing in the package about which to
complain with respect to Standards-Version 4.5.1, one may
reasonably safely assume that the package conforms
to Standards-Version 4.6.0, as well.)
* Observed that the package includes three overrides of the Lintian
tag package-contains-documentation-outside-usr-share-doc, of info
severity. The Lintian tag in question advises, with respect to a
documentation file outside /usr/share/doc/, "If this file does
describe the contents or purpose of the directory it is in, please
add a lintian override." The files to which the three overrides
apply are READMEs that do indeed describe the contents or purpose
of the directories they are in. The package includes the overrides
for this reason. (The matter is mentioned
because [https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html]
requests it.)
.
mirrorrib (0.14.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Released for the first time, uploading to sid.
.
mirrorrib (0.14.3) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Made the package's short description a noun phrase, thereby
conforming to best Debian practice.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.14.2) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Corrected the helper debian/dev/switch-standards-version so that it
can reliably find its associated data list.
* Corrected some misspellings in the changelogs for
versions (0.14.0) and (0.14.1) below.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.14.1) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Added the new helper debian/dev/switch-standards-version and its
associated data list.
* Conformed to Standards-Version 4.5.1.
* Deleted debian/compat and instead
added Build-Depends: debhelper-compat to debian/control.
* Added Build-Requires-Root: no to debian/control.
* In usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/40phase-cd.bash, corrected the
handling of lines of
usr/share/mirrorrib/lists/nodes-to-prefetch.list that begin with
a colon : flag.
* Deleted a stray trailing space in the changelog for
version (0.14.0).
* Improved the software and its packaging in further, minor ways.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.14.0) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Tested the program for the first time to fetch an actual,
stable Debian 11 bullseye release. Learned that mirrorrib 0.13
fails to fetch the release's minor version 0 because, though
dists/Debian11.0/main/installer-amd64/20210731/ exists in the
archive for the release's minor version 0,
dists/Debian11.0/main/installer-amd64/20210731+deb11u0/ does not.
(As far as the maintainer knows, this should be a problem only for
the release's minor version 0; but when the release's minor
version 1 arrives, that will be seen.)
* Fixed the bug the last item explains by extending
usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/40phase-cd.bash to recognize a
prepended ':' in usr/share/mirrorrib/lists/nodes-to-prefetch.list
to mean that the item so marked is to be skipped for minor
version 0. Also, prepended the ':' where appropriate in the list.
* Verified that the bookworm distribution, now testing, appears at
least for now to have the same archive structure as the bullseye
distribution, now stable.
* In various files, graduated Debian 10 buster to Debian 11 bullseye
to Debian 12 bookworm to Debian 13 trixie. That is, where the
software and its documentation used before bullseye's release to
refer to buster, let them refer instead to bullseye; and where they
used to refer to bullseye, let them refer instead to bookworm, and
so on.
* Struck MD5SUMS and SHA1SUMS from
usr/share/mirrorrib/lists/files-to-fetch-from-debian-cd.list
because Debian's Images Team no longer issues those checksums.
* In etc/mirrorrib.conft, commented Debian bullseye
as "supported" (which should have been done during Mirrorrib's 0.13
era but was overlooked).
* In the manual page:
+ Revised the page to bring it into the new, stable bullseye era,
replacing most citations of Debian version 10 with 11 and
of Debian buster with bullseye, especially in the
page's examples.
+ Reordered the section SEE ALSO to conform to the
style recommended by man-pages(7).
* Added po/sample/messages.po.
* In debian/README.source, recommended that users modifying the
source append .1 to the version number rather than .0.
* Improved the software and its packaging in further, minor ways.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.70) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Fixed a misformatting in the manual page's synopsis.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
* Noted incidentally the sequencing of 0.13.70 to follow 0.13.6 in
the version numbering. This is just a matter of preference. In a
version number x.y.z, the maintainer prefers that the .y and .z
seem to increase regardless of how one reads them. The numbering
was running out of room before 0.13.9, so now it has room to run
till 0.13.99. (Maybe 0.14.0 will come next and it won't matter,
anyway. Maybe 0.13.71 will come next. Who can say? Anyway, there
is now room to run if needed.)
.
mirrorrib (0.13.6) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Polished the manual page's formatting and its use of Groff.
* Clarified the manual page's explanation of why time zones do
not matter. (It might still need further clarification, though.
It's too long.)
* Improved and updated the manual page in further, minor ways.
* Referred the manual page and help message to Debian 10.9 as
an example.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.5) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Caused the program to check early whether the ISO CD image has yet
been posted, and to exit early with a suitable error message if the
image has not.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.4) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Clarified po/README.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.3) experimental; urgency=none
.
* On Mario Blättermann's advice
[https://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-german/2021/02/msg00079.html],
removed the maintainer's sample translations from the build path.
(This means that, until competent translators have provided proper
translations, the software will remain untranslated.)
Thanked Mario for the advice.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.2) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Corrected a few errors in the German localization, po/de.po.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.1) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Made the match pattern for INSTALLER_R0_DATE
in usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/05option-processing.bash
more accurate.
* Added a Source website to debian/copyright.
* Made the package upgradable for the first time -- such that, now
and in the future, unless otherwise noted, one can upgrade the
package in place from any version 0.13.0 or later.
* Improved the software and its packaging in further, minor ways.
* Despite that the software is probably serviceable as is, did not
lift the software's experimental designation. Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.13.0) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Added tentative support for Debian bullseye 11. (The package still
lacks infrastructure thoroughly, locally, automatically to test
such support. Adding such infrastructure is a nontrivial problem,
so who knows when such infrastructure might arrive? There are no
concrete plans at present. Meanwhile, how well the tentative
bullseye support actually works will be seen once bullseye 11.0
stable arrives.)
* Pursuant to the last change, let the program automatically
determine the parameter INSTALLER_R0_DATE by consulting
the primary mirror the user has specified. Eliminated the
parameter INSTALLER_R0_DATE10, no longer needed.
* Added a backstop configuration, with the attendant,
new usr/share/mirrorrib/backstops/*
and usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/01configuration.bash.
* In usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/14net-definitions.bash,
corrected the 'run_by_batch' function's mishandling of its
optional PREFIX parameter, which had been preventing the retrieval
of some pool files from snapshot.
* Since the package and its software remain experimental, did not
attempt to provide upgradability from version 0.12.
* Improved the software and its packaging in further, minor ways.
* Did not lift the software's experimental designation. Did not
release. Nevertheless, observed that -- though earlier versions
have been suitable only for experimental use -- this *might* be the
first version suitable for nonexperimental use.
.
mirrorrib (0.12.0) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Overhauled the source generally, altering most of its files,
moving and/or deleting some files, and introducing some new files.
Changed too many things for it to be practical to itemize all the
changes here. (If you have been using version 0.11, you cannot
assume that version 0.12 will work similarly.)
* Since the package and its software remain experimental, did not
attempt to provide upgradability from version 0.11. (Only a few
persons already have access to the package; but if you have access,
then you should probably purge version 0.11 before installing this
version 0.12. The package is eventually to obtain reliable
upgradability, of course, but not yet.)
* Extensively improved the source's Bash idiom.
* Overcame the unconventional-pathname problem the last
changelog mentioned.
* Internationalized the source.
* Preliminarily localized the source to French and German.
* Hereby invited competent translators (whether the maintainer knows
them yet or not) to improve the French and German localizations and
to localize to further languages.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.11.2) experimental; urgency=none
.
* In the manual page:
+ Clarified the lack of interaction between the -s command-line
option and some of the command-line parameters.
+ Added an example of the verification of checksums.
+ Added references to sha256sum(1) and null (4).
+ Acknowledged Mirrorrib's present inability, and consequent
refusal, to assemble a repository in a directory with an
unconventional pathname. (Whether this is a problem with the
program or with the pathname can be debated, but the program is
not trying to prove a point. Unless the maintainer thinks of a
clever workaround, the program just cannot reliably handle
offbeat names in its present design. Maybe the program will get
a top-to-bottom redesign and renovation someday and then the
trouble will go away.)
* Improved the manual page in further, minor ways.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.11.1) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Repackaged with a corrected revision date. (In the last revision,
the date in the changelog disagreed with the date in the README.)
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.11.0) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Added missing "Depends: ca-certificates" to debian/control.
* Added a bash-completion script. Consequently,
added "Build-Depends: bash-completion" to debian/control.
* Improved the program's handling of the -- option. (However, did
not teach the bash-completion script to react to the option.)
* On the other hand, as a practical concession to Bash as the
implementation language, made it an error for the user to enter
or refer to filepaths and other words that start with [.~+-],
contain other punctuation than those four plus [_], embed spaces,
or otherwise break from Debian convention. (This will probably
annoy some users, unfortunately; but for now, to hunt down all the
weird bugs and security holes offbeat names cause is too hard.
Alphanumeric Unicode characters are still supported.)
* Had the executable wrapper usr/bin/mirrorrib use realpath(1) rather
than readlink(1).
* Refactored usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/05option-processing.bash.
* Corrected the misdirection of the help message
in usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/05option-processing.bash.
* In usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/10function-definitions.bash
and usr/share/mirrorrib/lists/ctrl-to-decompress.list,
improved the logic that recognizes control files that need to
be decompressed.
* Fixed wrong file and directory permissions
in usr/share/mirrorrib/scripts/80phase-g.bash.
* Fixed a few quoting problems with regard to Bash's 'eval' builtin.
* Added usr/share/doc/mirrorrib/NON-FREE-FIRMWARE. In the manual
page, included a reference to the new document.
* In the manual page's examples section:
+ Fixed an incorrect option issued to tar(1) in an
existing example.
+ Added a new example to show how to merge old repositories
before mirrorrib(1) is run.
* Added an Upstream-Contact to debian/copyright.
* Added development helpers (not henceforth usually to be logged
here) in debian/dev.
* Wrote in debian/README.source some advice to users who wish to
modify and rebuild the package.
* Updated debian/rules to track the foregoing changes.
* Improved the software and its packaging in other, minor ways.
* Did not release.
.
mirrorrib (0.10.0) experimental; urgency=none
.
* Packaged mirrorrib for the first time. Did not release it.
