regenerate the InRelease file

abd_bela · 09-09-2014, 05:47 AM

i all,
I used apt-mirror to create my own local mirror? that 's fine.

The problem now the date in Inrelease is expired, and I can't use
it , until I changed the date,

I did it directly in the file !!! unfortunately the signature is not
valid, so I want to regenerate the release for my local mirror, I
don't want new packages, JUST to regenerate the file Inrelease with
correct date.
something with gpg program I suppose???
Please someone can send me the command.
Thanks a lot
regards

OK I solved the problem ,
it can help someone: ( may be there is a better way)
like this:
1. I generate my own key ( gpg --gen-key)
2. I create new Release file with apt-ftparchive --md5 --sha256
release . > Release
in dists directory
3. gpg --armor --output Release.gpg --detach-sign Release
4. gpg --clearsign --output InRelease Release
5. apt-key add myKey

So I use my new key to control the signature instead of the debian key
that 's it

Best regards
