Version: 0.8.16~exp6
The experimental upload from yesterday should include patches
for both issues. Generating a packages file for a 5 GB package
with apt-ftparchive worked for me as well as the download of said
file later with the http transport. Nonetheless it would be great
if you could test it as well! As it is a big change and might be
incompatible with other packages depending on APT i would
recommend to do so in a chroot through.
For apt-ftparchive needs to be said that the caches might not
be recognized as invalid by db so if this is the case you need
to delete them first.
As it worked for me in my tests i am closing these bugs now
as fixed. If something goes wrong and it doesn't work for you
feel free to reopen them of course!
Thanks for your report & best regards
David Kalnischkies
