Package: aptly Version: 0.8-3 Severity: important Tags: jessie stretch sid X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Dear maintainer,
Current aptly cannot handle deb packages built using dpkg (>= 1.19.0~) since
the new deb files now use "control.tar.xz" instead of "control.tar.gz". The
root cause is that dpkg-deb (>= 1.19.0~) now enables "--uniform-compression"
by default.
This bug is already reported upstream:
https://github.com/smira/aptly/issues/655
This bug is pretty serious since all new packages built on new Debian-based
systems will not be compatible with aptly. I will keep tracking this bug and
raise severity when upstream releases the fix.
CC-ing debian-dpkg maillist to make dpkg staff aware of this side-effect. We
could expect that other Debian archive management tools break as well.
Regards,
Boyuan Yang
