mirror repository without Release file

[HerrBerg]

I'd like to mirror the debian repository of sonarqube. With

deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sonar-pkg/deb binary/

in sources.list apt-get update works fine.

creating a mirror with aptly (v0.9.5) using the command

aptly mirror create -ignore-signatures=true mirror-sonarqube http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sonar-pkg/deb binary/

results in an error of receiving the Release file which indeed is not available in this repository.

Is there a way to work around this issue?

There has already been some issue around that... this is for flat Debian repositories without Relese. Probably this should be fixed.

I believe that this is addressed by #434.

It's been a long time since initial discussion, but the problem seems to persist In my case I'm trying to mirror https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/ubuntu18.04/amd64 My command is

aptly -config=/app/aptly.json -keyring=/app/trustedkeys.gpg -architectures="amd64" --with-sources mirror create nvidia-docker-ubuntu18.04-amd64 https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/ubuntu18.04/amd64 ./
