  1. Some file path had used by apt-mirror package already:

/etc/apt/mirror.list
/usr/bin/apt-mirror
/usr/share/man/man1/apt-mirror.1.gz 

The new apt-mirrors2 should not conflict it. Please rename or change the path.

User perhaps hope install apt-mirror and apt-mirror2 in the meantime for different apt source.

  2. The main goal of the apt-mirror2 is to be drop-in replacement of the apt-mirror. It is declared in the project's readme [1].

That is - it's possible to keep your configuration, mirror files and run apt-mirror2 instead of the apt-mirror to get consistent and never broken mirrors.

The project was started because apt-mirror is broken in many ways (you getting broken mirrors with the apt-mirror very often) and unmaintained. Moreover maintainers of the apt-mirror supports renaming of the apt-mirror2 to apt-mirror [2] in case of feature-parity which long time achieved  (and surpassed).

That's why apt-mirror2 package have proper `Provides/Conflicts/Replaces` fields.

If it's possible I want to keep this idea of drop-in replacement in the Debian package.

  1. When I build in my PC(OS is atzlinux distribution, base on Debian), I get failed. 

install -d -m 0755 debian/apt-mirror2/var/spool/apt-mirror
sed "s#@CODENAME@#bookworm#" debian/atzlinux-mirror.list >> debian/apt-mirror2/etc/apt/mirror.list
sed: can't read debian/atzlinux-mirror.list: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:18: override_dh_auto_install] Error 2

There are many distribution base on Debian, please also support it.

Please don't change upstream much.

d/rules: override_dh_auto_install: target is not very necessarily.

  2. Thanks for review!

I moved some install commands to `debian/*.install` files and fixed build with Debian derivatives.

There is still mirror.list installation logic that adds Debian/Ubuntu repositories to /etc/apt/mirror.list to make transition from apt-mirror smoother.

  1. Hi Yuri,

* Waiting for caio to clear the NEW queue.
* aiofile needs an RFS submitting, then find sponsor.
* aiolimiter waiting for sponsor.

This package is waiting for the above and I will look at it at that time.

Regards

Phil

  2. Yuri,

What we can do here.

* You ping/follow up on caio status in NEW queue.
* You file and RFS on aiofile.

* I will review and work with you to get aiofile to status 'confirmed'.
* I will review and work with you to get apt-mirror2 to status 'confirmed'.
* Once we are OK with the above, I will promote this stack of packages with you to the debian-devel mailing list etc. and see if we can successfully move forward.

Regards

Phil

  2. I just uploaded new version that should address all issues. One thing I left as is - a section. Since apt-mirror2 is a successor of the apt-mirror I think `net` section is better choice for it.
