Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: wishlist It'd be good if the Package file diffs under
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/Packages.diff/ extended back by perhaps a few weeks. Currently they seem to be as little as 3 days worth, so if you're not online and updating that often you don't get the benefit of diffs over full download. I hope I'm right that this is a matter of what's available for download. I adjusted the apt PDiffs::FileLimit and PDiffs::SizeLimit up to hopefully use as much as possible. I suppose the amount of diffs retained could be decided dynamically. When the sizes add up to more than a full package file download then chop off the oldest since anyone that far back would certainly be better with the full download. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
