Tests are done using curl, and ensure that the hosts HTTP or FTP requests. This makes use of the '-s' option in netselect in a way similar to what was requested in #117265. The fastests servers are listed in addition to the server chosen after verifying they are reachable (Closes: #117265) * netselect-apt.1: - Document behaviour and the new option (-t) in the manpage. * debian/control: - Add 'curl' as Recommended for netselect-apt -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:04:32 +0200 netselect (0.3.ds1-18) unstable; urgency=low * debian/control: Downgrade dpkg-dev from Recommends to Suggests since it (and its related dependencies) will pull in way too many packages (over 20MB worth) (Closes: 629833) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:07:21 +0200 netselect (0.3.ds1-17) unstable; urgency=low * netselect.c: - Add a new -D option to force netselect to provide, if required, the DNS names for hosts that resolve to multiple IP addresses. Modify the code so that the dnsname is kept on the host struct and printed, if this option is used, when netselect finishes. (Closes: #136849) - Notify through stderr if the number of hosts found are (at least) the number of hosts and also return with error 1 if no hosts are found. This helps clarify the situation when all the probed hosts are considered invalid and no one is returned (Closes: 467303) * netselect-apt: - Make the script more robust by having it check and detect some common issues when running netselect: * No hosts are found to use with netselect, due to an incorrect file being provided or an error when downloading the mirror list, or, * Netselect does not return any host to netselect-apt Now the script will at least abort with a (hopefully useful) error message instead of writing a useless sources.list (Closes: 238888) - Use the -D option (see above) by default so that the information introduced is always a name and not an IP address as many Debian servers use DNS round robin and the servers cannot be accessed using an IP address (Closes: 420252) - Use dpkg-architecture if available, otherwise fall back to "dpkg --print-architecture" instead (Closes: 609342) - Add 'wheezy' as a valid distribution (Closes: 623180) * netselect.1: - Fix typos in manpage (Closes: #605654) - Document the new '-D' option and also add new examples how both the tag feature and the -D option can be used, trying to reflect the disadvantages of it (using as a reference the discussion in bug log #136849) - Remove whitespace from output in examples to help readability. * debian/control: - netselect-apt: Add a Recommends on dpkg-dev since we use dpkg-architecture * Translations: - Added Danish translation provided by Joe Hansen (Closes: #623101) -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Wed, 08 Jun 2011 00:38:50 +0200 netselect (0.3.ds1-16) unstable; urgency=low * Finalise takeover: really change the maintainer's address (see #601227). -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Thu, 31 Mar 2011 01:24:54 +0200 netselect (0.3.ds1-15) unstable; urgency=low * Take over this package's maintenance, with maintainer's approval. * netselect: - Implement a -I option to make netselect use ICMP probes instead of UDP. This option is useful to test servers when there is some element that does not allow traceroute tests in the intermediate path (including the local computer, through it's firewall). (Closes: 601227, 217256, 384218) - Do not printout verbose messages detailing hosts to stdout but to stderr * netselect.1: - Document the new -I option - Add more examples, specifically describing the issues with multiple DNS names in hosts. * netselect-apt: - Introduce a way to provide options to netselect through -O - Check if netselect exists - Abort if not being run as root and netselect is not setuid - Use -I per default as many debian mirrors do not actually allow traceroute tests - Only use standard output when parsing netselect's output, stderr gets thrown out as we do not need it (but the user might have set it with -v calls in -O) - Stricter filtering of netselect output to prevent picking up wrong data by mistake * debian/netselect.README.Debian: More information on why netselect needs to be run as ROOT. * debian/control: - Update Homepage to github - Update SVN-Browse to github, keep the URL of collab-main in debian/README.source * debian/EXTRA: include modified version of netselect-apt by Manuel Estrada Sainz a long time ago (2002) which provides additional features such as testing for other protocols (rsync, ftp, http) and checking that the mirrors actually work. This code needs to be forward ported to netselect-apt in order to close 135558. But having it in the package at least ensures it is not forgotten. * debian/TODO: review all pending work to be done and include it in the file, reference bug reports when appropriate. * debian/netselect-apt.NEWS and debian/netselect.NEWS: Fix version numbers as they pointed to inexistent versions -- Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pen~a Wed, 01 Dec 2010 01:43:12 +0100 netselect (0.3.ds1-14) unstable; urgency=low * Fix spelling mistake in netselect-apt.1 * Upgrade to SV 3.8.3, no changes needed * Make netselect bail on socket() EPERM with a message instead of doing that at the start, also put a note on how to setup file capabilities and improve netselect-apt message reporting as well (Closes: #560121) -- Filippo Giunchedi Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:58:13 +0100 netselect (0.3.ds1-13.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload with maintainer's agreement.
