[Pulp-list] pulp_deb: how to add "Size" domain into index file "Packages"

[Quirin Pamp]

Sorry I did not reply to this sooner.

The missing Size field is a bug: https://pulp.plan.io/issues/8506
We are currently working on a fix: https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb/pull/300

We believe the code changes are ready (still struggling with test coverage), so if you have a test setup that allows this you could try applying the changes as a patch.
Otherwise, we hope to add this fix to the next pulp_deb release soon.

You can also try to work around this problem by using the verbatim publisher for now (it is not affected by this problem, but it may not meet your requirements in other ways).
See: https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulp_deb/feature_overview.html#verbatim-publishing
And: https://docs.pulpproject.org/pulp_deb/restapi.html#tag/Publications:-Verbatim

I hope that helps,

Subject: [Pulp-list] pulp_deb: how to add "Size" domain into index file "Packages"

Hi Experts,


With pulp_deb I created a remote mirror based on a Debian repository. While it's index file "Packages" lack of "Size" domain. While based on Debian's document: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format#A.22Packages.22_Indices

It defined "Size" as mandatory. So I wonder if there are any method to add this domain?

BTW: With my pulp_deb repository, `debootstrap` confused with the "Packages" file thus mis-use the "SHA256" domain as the package "Size" thus caused error.

Thanks
Xiao
