Add Packages.xz support

Open j0hax opened this issue 7 months ago • 4 comments

Description

Hello there! I noticed that the main Debian Bookworm repository works well with RMT, but the Debian-Security repository only copies dists/ without the pool/ directory which contains the packages. Upon inspection of the RMT code I realized that only Packages.gz files are parsed, which are not contained in the Debian-Security repo.

How to test

Mirror http://security.debian.org/debian-security/dists/bookworm-security/main/binary-all/ or any repository which uses the .xz variant over Packages.gz
