The following enhancements and behavioral differences were introduced:
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 1. Persistent CDIFF Missing Cache
|
|
|
|
|
|
-**New behavior:**
|
|
|
- Missing CDIFF files are permanently recorded in `cdiff_history.txt`
|
|
|
- Once a CDIFF is known to be unavailable, it is never retried
|
|
|
- Prevents repeated failed HTTP requests on every run
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 2. Multi-Mirror Fallback
|
|
|
|
|
|
-**New behavior:**
|
|
|
- Multiple mirrors are defined for both `.cvd` and `.cdiff` downloads
|
|
|
- Mirrors are tried sequentially until a successful download occurs
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 3. Robust Incremental Update Logic
|
|
|
|
|
|
-**New behavior:**
|
|
|
- Sequential CDIFF download verification
|
|
|
- If *any* required CDIFF is missing:
|
|
|
- All partial CDIFFs are discarded

### 4. If-Modified-Since Optimization
|
|
|
|
|
|
-**New behavior:**
|
|
|
- Uses `If-Modified-Since` HTTP header when downloading full CVD files
|
|
|
- Avoids unnecessary downloads if the file has not changed
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 5. Temporary File Safety
|
|
|
|
|
|
-**New behavior:**
|
|
|
- All downloads are written to a temporary directory first
|
|
|
- Files are only moved into place if:

- They exist
