Public bug reported: debmirror ignores debian-installer sections when mirroring *-updates dists. I'm running debmirror 1:2.10ubuntu1 on Precise.
To reproduce, try to mirror precise and precise-updates like this: debmirror -a amd64 -s main,main/debian-installer -d precise,precise-updates \ --method rsync --verbose /tmp/debmirror Notice that dists/precise/main/debian-installer exists, but dists /precise-updates/main/debian-installer does not. I think the culprit is this bit of code in the debmirror script that instructs debmirror to skip debian-installer mirroring for any dist that contains the string "-updates": sub di_skip_dist { my $dist=shift; if ( $dist =~ /.*-updates/ || defined($skip_installer{$dist}) ) { return 1; } return 0; } ** Affects: debmirror (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034679 Title: debian-installer section not mirrored in *-updates dists To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debmirror/+bug/1034679/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
