In the meantime - as it is fairly obvious that this will not be done instantly and unlikely to be in time for q-freezes - you might want to explore solutions similar to bittorrent which are available today with apt-p2p or apt-transport-debtorrent (as these are by definition hash based) or setup a service like http.debian.net which in your case would only redirect to fully updated mirrors -- which might even speeds up your updates on the machine if it redirects the same client to different mirrors (to improve this further you might like to backport deb#668111 for apt).
Either doesn't solve all problems, but should be able to fix at least a few for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/972077 Title: apt repository disk format has race conditions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/972077/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
