Post by Ben HutchingsThe default value of Acquire::Changelogs::URI::Origin::Debian is
Note that this value is not used as long as the Release file contains
a Changelogs: field â which has the same value ATM.
So, for your local setup you will need:
Acquire::Changelogs::URI::Override::Origin::Debian "tor+http://cmgvqnxjoiqthvrc.onion/changelogs/@***@_changelog";
(expect, in your case https instead of tor and hidden service of course)
That is so that any repository can provide changelogs for its packages â
and that the URI can be changed without changing apt which has happened
historically a few times before this mechanism was introduced ~3 years
ago.
Post by Ben HutchingsSince metadata.ftp-master.debian.org supports HTTP-S and redirects to
the https: scheme, the URL should be changed to use it from the start.
I think the apt client is exempt from such an automatic redirect.
The "reason" is that apt < 1.5 has no built-in support for https and needs
apt-transport-https installed.
Changing that value now means that changelog wont work for stable users
anymore who are trying to access newer Debian releases as long as they
haven't a-t-https installed â but that might be acceptable.
On the other hand we could drop the entry in the Release file for now so
that stable uses http and we change apt/unstable to use https⊠decisions
decisions, but that is for ftp/dakmasters to worry about. ;)
Sadly, I haven't thought about allowing this field to be multiline to
give multiple URIs â then again, it might be for the best as that would
turn complicated fast.
