Hi everyone,
the following packages contain lines matching the
expression:
/var/lib/apt/lists/.*(Packages|Sources)
Those files may be compressed by any compressor
supported by APT and just hardcoding them is
wrong.
Especially with lz4 support in 1.2, there
is almost no overhead setting Acquire::gzipIndexes
(bad name, I know), so I suspect we might see
more people moving to compressed indices, especially
on embedded devices.
So, I think it's time to clean up that mess.
Here is how:
To get the name of all Packages files (since 1.1), use:
apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Packages"
for Sources:
apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Sources"
for Contents (if apt-file 3 is installed):
apt-get indextargets --format '$(FILENAME)' "Created-By: Contents-deb"
(or -dsc, -udeb)
To read the file, you can use (since APT 1.1.8)
/usr/lib/apt/apt-helper cat-file FILENAME...
- this will automatically handle any compressor. C++ code may wish
to use APT's FileFd code instead.
