v1.4.0 Changes
July 05, 2019๐ This is regular release of aptly.
GnuPG 2.x compatibility
๐ aptly should support transparently GnuPG 1.x and 2.x via gpg PGP provider. Internal PGP provider only supports GnuPG 1.x keyring format (as openpgp Go library doesn't support GnuPG 2.1+ kerying format).
- aptly can sign and verify without issues with GnuPG 1.x and 2.x
- aptly auto-detects GnuPG version and adapts accordingly
- aptly automatically finds suitable GnuPG version
๐ง Configuration parameter
gpgProvider
now supports three values for GnuPG:- 0๏ธโฃ
gpg
(same as before, default): use GnuPG 1.x if available (checks gpg, gpg1), otherwise uses GnuPG 2.x; for aptly users who already have GnuPG 1.x environment (as it was the only supported version) nothing should change; new users might start with GnuPG 2.x if that's their installed version gpg1
looks for GnuPG 1.x only, fails otherwisegpg2
looks for GnuPG 2.x only, fails otherwise

Repo include API
๐ฆ
aptly repo include
command is now available via included packages from uploaded directory API.(#751)
๐ Performance improvements
๐ Performance improvements around loading collections of snapshots, mirrros, repos, etc. Now aptly does lazy loading which should improve both performance and memory footprint, which should be noticeable in commands which load whole contents of the db (
aptly db cleanup
).๐ Changes

v1.3.0 Changes
May 14, 2018๐ This is regular release of aptly.
๐ Support for "legacy" Contents indexes
๐ฆ Ubuntu up to and including 16.04 is using "old" layout for Contents indexes for package repositories, while Debian has already switched to the new layout. Now aptly generates both "old" and "new" Contents indexes to allow
apt-file
to work with repositories published with Ubuntu <= 16.04 (#667, #729)Fall back to gpg1
0๏ธโฃ aptly has two ways to sign published repositories: via external
gpg
command and using internalopenpgp
provider. Both of them support only GPG v1.x. To make it easier to support modern systems with GPG 2.x being installed by default, aptly tries to find GPG v1.x distribution by attempting to launchgpg1
binary ifgpg
is version 2.x (#734).๐ Changes
๐ aptly repository has been moved to the org

v1.2.0 Changes
December 07, 2017๐ This is scheduled regular release of aptly (a bit late according to planned to schedule).
Acquire-By-Hash
๐ aptly supports by hash layout for published repositories (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptByHash). This fixes a race when
apt
is downloadingRelease
file while it's being updated to match new package indexes.โก๏ธ Acquire-By-Hash mode is backwards compatible with clients which do not support it. Feature should be enabled when repo or snapshot is first published, subsequent operations (update, switch) would have
acquire-by-hash
mode enabled.Example:
aptly publish snapshot -acquire-by-hash snap-repo-20171205
Thanks to @sliverc and @neolynx for the implementation of this new feature (#664, #381, #551).
Dependency Resolution
Several significant improvements were made to aptly internal dependency resolution engine. This specifically affects
-dep-follow-all-variants
, but there are some other changes improving compatibility.With 1.2.0 filters which have dependency resolution enabled might produce a bit different results (which should be more correct anyway).
๐ Changes

v1.1.1 Changes
August 11, 2017๐ This is bugfix release for aptly 1.1.0 series.
โก๏ธ aptly 1.1.0 contained bug (#600) with
aptly mirror update
- if package files are already downloaded,aptly mirror update
was clearing fields in internal package database, which resulted in failures for subsequent publishing.โก๏ธ If you are running aptly 1.1.0 upgrading to 1.1.1 and running
aptly mirror update
once again should be sufficient to mitigate that issue.๐ For more information on new features in 1.1.x, please see 1.1.0 release notes.

v1.1.0 Changes
August 09, 2017๐ aptly 1.1.0 release is following (a bit late) scheduled every 3 months release of aptly.
โฌ๏ธ Upgrading
โฌ๏ธ There're no steps required to upgrade from any version to 1.1.0, but downgrading from 1.1.0 to 1.0.x (or previous versions) is not supported due to changes in internal package pool layout.
Custom Filesystem Publishing
๐ง aptly supported configuring number of S3 and Swift publishing endpoints for a long time, but local filesystem publishing was limited to default directory
~/.aptly/public
and hardlinking files. There was number of requests to allow use of symlinks or file copy to support publishing to different filesystems and shared locations like NFS.๐ With PR #521 from @seeraven aptly supports configuration of custom filesystem endpoints. Each endpoint has its own filesystem root, it might support either hardlinks, symlinks or simple file copy to reference files from aptly internal package pool.
๐ฆ Internal Package Pool
๐ aptly stores package files deduplicated internal package pool (under
~/.aptly/pool
by default). MD5 checksum was used to build file path in the pool, which had two consequences:๐ 1. MD5 checksum was required to pick location, so mirrors without MD5 checksums were not supported (#228, #442). ๐ฆ 2. In unlikely event when two different package files with same filename had same first two bytes of MD5 checksum, aptly would fail to import file (#329).
๐ฆ In order to overcome those problems, package pool and internal package file storage was changed. Now aptly always recalculates checksums on files being downloaded or imported, making sure each file has full set of checksums (including SHA512). Location of package files in the pool now includes more bytes of SHA256 making conflict unlikely.
โฌ๏ธ When upgrading from previous version, aptly would be able to find and use previously downloaded or imported package files, but new files would be stored in new locations. This means that downgrading from aptly 1.1.0 to previous versions is no longer supported (it's not advised to do that for any version of aptly, but with package pool changes this would make aptly loose track of package files). There are no special actions to upgrade aptly to 1.1.0.
Database Locking
๐ There were several issues with
aptly api serve
with-no-lock
which got fixed (#431, #582). With 1.1.0 every aptly command on startup performs 10 attempts to reopen DB if database is locked. This makes easier to use CLI from cron or in CICD environments (#401). Number of attempts is configurable with-db-open-attempts
flag for every command. If you want to go back to pre-1.1.0 behaviour, use-db-open-attempts=0
.PGP Providers
๐ GPG implementation is changing a lot in 2.x series, it's becoming harder and harder to support reliable interface to
gpg
command-line tool. aptly now supports pluggable PGP providers. Two providers are implemented:0๏ธโฃ 1. Previously used
gpg
provider (default for 1.1.0), which is invokinggpg
command-line tool.- Internal PGP implementation based on https://github.com/golang/crypto/tree/master/openpgp.
๐ Internal implementation is not as feature full as
gpg
, but it has better integration when signing repos, it doesn't requiregpg
to be installed. Key management (public/secret keyring) still requiresgpg
.๐ง PGP provider could be changed with
-gpg-provider=[gpg|internal]
command-line flag or viagpgProvider
configuration value.๐ Changes
๐ฆ aptly sorts search results and package lists (#135, #214) with respect to correct version ordering.
It's allowed to create snapshots of empty repos (#288).
aptly now correctly matches checksums for indexes while mirroring (#376).
๐ฆ aptly packages from repo.aptly.info now correctly list
xz-utils
in dependencies (#395).aptly doesn't abort execution if
Contents
generation fails (#451, #533).๐ฒ aptly generates detailed log while resolving dependencies with
-dep-verbose-resolve
flag (#508).๐ฆ aptly can now optionally skip checking package files while downloading from the mirror (#520).
โฌ๏ธ aptly supports setting and inheriting from the mirror values for
Origin
,NotAutomatic
,BadAutomaticUpgrades
while publishing (#577, thanks @sliverc).๐ aptly trims slashes on publishing prefixes (#613, #607).
Development
๐ Development documentation is now available.
๐ aptly code is verified with set of linters both for Go source code and Python functional tests.
Files for back completion are now part of aptly source repository for easier packaging and PRs.

v1.0.0 Changes
March 27, 2017๐ Changes
Contents
index generation was re-implemented to use temporary DB instead of keeping index in memory which should lower memory requirements a lot during publishing.๐ฆ Debian package reader was enhanced to guess correct archive type even if filename is incorrect (e.g.
data.tar.gz
while it's regulartar
archive).๐
.xz
compression format is supported for mirrors (index files).๐
aptly mirror create
supports new flag-force-architectures
which disables validation of supplied architectures inRelease
file (for mirrors with brokenRelease
files).โก๏ธ
aptly mirror update
supports download retries via new flag-max-tries
.๐ฆ
aptly search *
family of commands allows query expression to be missing which means "display all the packages".๐ New command
aptly publish show
to display detailed information about published repository.๐ New command
aptly repo create ... from snapshot ...
to initialize local repository with snapshot contents.๐
aptly api serve
supports systemd activation, listening on UNIX sockets and it bails out quickly if root dir is not writable.๐ฆ aptly now supports
-dbgsym
packages while processingaptly repo include
.aptly snapshot show
output was enhanced to include information about snapshot sources (and its current names).๐
aptly graph
supports rendering to output files instead of launching viewer, viewer is now custom per platform. Also additionalvertical
layout is supported which might be useful to get better-looking diagrams.Repo edit API doesn't touch repo fields which are not specified in the request.
๐
aptly version
command now reports correct version for nightly builds.๐ Extended support for OpenStack environment variables in Swift publisher.
๐ Versioning
๐ From now on, aptly release should happen every 3 months. For every release minor version would be bumped (e.g. next release would be
1.1.0
). Bugfix-release will bump patch version (e.g.1.0.1
).๐ Nightly builds versioning has changed, now version format is following
git describe --tags
format:x.y.z+<N>+<hash>
, wherex.y.z
is previous aptly release (important, before it was next version of aptly) followed by monotonically increasingN
and git commithash
.Development
aptly stopped using gom for vendored dependency management. From now on aptly has all the deps committed to the source tree under
vendor/
directory (standard Go vendoring). Vendored dependency are managed using dep tool.๐ Go source code is checked using gometalinter, with only some most important checks enabled, more checks to be enabled in the next releases. Use
make check
to check your source code for problems.๐ฆ aptly packages are built with Go 1.8.
