The latest issue of Apt-Mirror2 4 has been released, with a focus on optimizing the operation of local mirrors of Apt repositories for DEBIAN and UBUNTU users. APT-Mirror2 has been positioned as a viable alternative to the outdated utility apt-mirror, which has not seen updates since 2017. The notable difference with APT-Mirror2 lies in its utilization of Python with the ASYNCIO library, in contrast to the Perl-based code of the original Apt-Mirror. Additionally, integrity checks are implemented at every stage of the mirror process to prevent disruptions, with the code distributed under the gplv3 license.
Key features of the new version include:
- Support for file lists compatible with APT-Mirror (All, New, MD5, Sha256, Sha512).
- Integration of transmission metric Prometheus for monitoring purposes.
- Integrity checks for files with releases and automated retry mechanisms in case of download failures.
- Enhancements in estimating the size of downloaded data.
- Improved log integration for easier tracking.
- Resolution of issues related to creating mirrors of FTP servers.
