Notes: This is the first pre-release candidate for version 0.8. It is considered to be alpha. That means it works and compiles, BUT does not include key features like fetching the new Release files in order to determine how the local mirror should be updated. But if you restart it every day (when you know that there are new Package lists out there) then it should behave. The SimpleMirrorModule is removed, as version 0.8 requires a huge rewrite of the module. Just for comparison: this prerelease has over 2000 lines of code more than version 0.7.2
Changes: Too much to list it all here. Go to http://hacktor.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~dun3/apt-got/sf/html/commit_log.html for a complete commit log. Some added features: Release files are found and downloaded on start of the server. Package lists are verified against md5ums found in Release files binary-i386 lists are downloaded on startup (if not yet present and with the right md5sum) All other lists are set to pending and are downloaded on request if not already present on disk. if present on disk they are checked against the md5um in Release and redownloaded if necessary.
