The drawback with implementing this fallback is that a) we are guessing again and more importantly b) by-hash is only tried for the first compression algorithm we want to acquire, not for all as before – but flipping between by-hash and well-known for each compression algorithm seems to be not really worth it as it seems unlikely that there will actually be mirrors who only mirror a subset of compressioned files, but have by-hash enabled. The user-experience is the usual fallback one: You see "Ign" lines in the apt update output. The fallback is implemented as a transition feature, so a (potentially huge) mirror network doesn't need a flagday. It is not meant as a "someday we might" or "we don't, but some of our mirrors might" option – we want to cut down on the 'Ign' lines front so that they become meaningful – if we wanted to spam everyone with them, we could enable by-hash by default for all repositories… sources.list and config options are better suited for this. Closes: 798919 2015-09-14T13:22:19Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-09-14T11:18:29Z urn:sha1:24e8f24e1e94ec3816b0bfc7a05d1c4e3f73248e This changes the semantics of the option (which is renamed too) to be a yes/no value with the special additional value "force" as this allows by-hash to be disabled even if the repository indicates it would be supported and is more in line with our other yes/no options like pdiff which disable themselves if no support can be detected. The feature wasn't documented so far and hasn't reached a (un)stable release yet, so changing it without trying too hard to keep compatibility seems okay. 2015-09-14T13:22:19Z David Kalnischkies david@kalnischkies.de 2015-09-14T00:26:13Z urn:sha1:63c7141275c8c5c0f6e60f5242785e50cabaf2a0 Not all tests work yet, most notable the cdrom tests, but those require changes in libapt itself to have a proper fix and what we have fixed so far is good enough progress for now.

Lets at least print it for git as well with the option of adding more later without string changes.
