Bird Debian Repo broken ?!

[Daniel Wendler]

Hello List,

today i was a little bit confused about the package updates on our firewall.
Only Wheezy Systems wants to update to latest version.
After some research i realize the upgrades are from the official Debian Repo
and not from the Bird repo.
After looking in the bird repo i realized that:

dists/{squeeze,wheezy}/main/binary-amd64/Packages{,.gz}

are 0 byte files, so the apt-get update does not realize the files in the
repo. The timestamp of the files say 21.08.14, so i think its broken since
then.

Could someone see the same behavior?

Hello List,

this problem.
Nobody else with this problem?

Hey Daniel,

What is the content of the sources.list file on your system?

Hello Eliezer,

content is:

deb http://bird.network.cz/debian wheezy main

You can test this if you do:

wget http://bird.network.cz/debian/dists/wheezy/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz

So you get an 29 byte compressed file which includes an 0 byte Packages file.

Hi Folks,
the debian repo was re-designed. Please look at it.
