aptly v1.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2017-12-07 // over 6 years ago

  • 🚀 This is scheduled regular release of aptly (a bit late according to planned to schedule).

    Acquire-By-Hash

    🚀 aptly supports by hash layout for published repositories (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptByHash). This fixes a race when apt is downloading Release file while it's being updated to match new package indexes.

    ⚡️ 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).
