Followup-For: Bug #1085265
X-Debbugs-Cc: okgomdjgbm...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
i encoutered more issues. Because i'm using mv, the files are relativelly old,
so the if statement with the stamp isn't triggered. But with caching this can
be removed. Then also force can be removed. And also the stamp. So now, i
changed it to run greedely and rely on caching.
in attachment what i'm using.
the cache probably needs to be moved (/var/cache) and also i don't know if the
cache will just grow uncontrollably. apt-ftparchive has a clean command, but it
expects a config file. Maybe it's an oversite there.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
DEBS=/srv/local-apt-repository
REPO=/var/lib/local-apt-repository
if ! test -d $DEBS
then
# We still need ot create the files lest apt will complain
> $REPO/Packages
> $REPO/Sources
else
# We want to cater for the possibility that something is added to $DEBS as we
# run, or that a file is slowly written. In this case, we want to wait a bit
# and restart. But lets bound this to 10 runs.
for n in $(seq 0 10)
do
# This is the second round alreay, lets wait a while
if [ "$n" != "0" ]
then
echo "Further changes are coming in, waiting..."
sleep 10

# Relative paths work better than absolute

) || true
# ^ this can fail during a partial write to the directory (which
# would be detected by the loop), so ignore errors here
