Hello, I don't keep my Debian testing uptodate and it's a fact than the pdiff method is really longer. After few days (a week ?) make a day-by-day summary is more expansive than get directly the new Packages file ; after a month it's catastrophic.
>> It is possible to disable the pdiff files with: >> apt-get update -o Acquire::PDiffs=false > > I have disabled Apt's pdiff "feature" for now. Can I ask you if you do this on the command line each time (or with an alias) or we can archive this option in a /etc/apt/* file ? Regards, Aurélien. PS : I see many informations ( System Information, Versions of packages apt depends on, Versions of packages apt recommends, etc) on many Debian bugreports. Does they made manually or by a script ? -- http://www.aurelp.fr.eu.org « Celui qui néglige le possible pour chercher l'impossible est un insensé. » Von Clausewitz, Vom kriege.
