SA Bugzilla – Bug 7530
Update sa-update to better handle missing ruleset files on mirrors and add retries with random delays
Last modified: 2019-06-15 15:33:22 UTC
Add checking logic to detect when curl/wget are not able to download the ruleset files and give better debug output. Currently GPG is attempted even when the files were not downloaded giving a misleading error. Also add a loop with retries when a 404 is returned to better handle mirrors out of sync. It could even try a different mirror immediately then backoff with random sleeps if the first few return 404.
Retries are already implemented in sa-update.
