[Bug 1716550] Re: missing strong hashes in some suites of the caffeine-developers PPA

[Colin Watson]

This was basically bug 1190879.  Individual archive/suite pairs that
were last published before that fix landed will vary depending on the
exact way the upload happened, but everything after that should
consistently have the stronger hashes.  Unfortunately with the current
architecture republishing all old PPAs would be extremely expensive - it
would be much worse than
https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~cjwatson/blog/re-signing-ppas.html,
which was just about re-signing Release files.

We haven't historically removed old suites from PPAs, essentially
because PPAs are user-managed and it's up to them to clean up.  It's
conceivable that we might change that policy at some point, but it would
be a substantial change requiring announcement and discussion.

Please don't subscribe ~ubuntu-archive to bug reports about PPAs; it is
not their area.  I've unsubscribed them.
