Package: debdelta Version: 0.53 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
with latest debdelta (0.53 in experimental) and other versions in testing/unstable (all have been tried). while using a very slow connection the debdelta-upgrade will repeatedly time out, meaning the run will not finish loading the debdeltas without being restarted. i consider it a minor bug as it is easily fixed by the user, and only some few people are on such slow connections any longer. this is a note for those who might experience similar timeouts. by adjusting the timeout value from 15 seconds to some larger value will help people with slow connections to get the debdeltas downloaded in fewer tries. there is only one use of the word timeout in /usr/bin/debdelta so that is easy to find and adjust. so far 600 seconds seems to work for me, but others may wish to use some other number. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.12-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debdelta depends on: ii binutils 2.24-2 ii bzip2 1.0.6-5 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.17-97 ii python 2.7.5-5 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1 Versions of packages debdelta recommends: ii bsdiff 4.3-15 ii gnupg-agent 2.0.22-3 ii gnupg2 2.0.22-3 ii lzma 9.22-2 ii python-apt 0.9.1 ii xdelta 1.1.3-9 ii xdelta3 3.0.7-dfsg-2 ii xz-utils [lzma] 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 Versions of packages debdelta suggests: ii debdelta-doc 0.50+2: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
