When a publishing uses a publish prefix, instead of listing the contents of the whole bucket under the storage prefix, only list the contents of the bucket under the storage prefix and publish prefix, and cache it by publish prefix. This speeds up publish operations under a prefix.

SHA-256
For each uploaded Debian package a SHA-256 checksum is computed. This checksum is used to create a file tree where each package will reside, with following hierarchy.
Directory and sub-directories structure
- 1st and 2nd characters of SHA-256 checksum as sub-directory of rootDir/pool directory.
- 3rd and 4th characters of SHA-256 checksum as sub-directory of the former
ex:
sha256sum 476e0cdac6bc757dd2b78bacc1325323b09c45ecb41d4562deec2a1c7c148405 my-package_1.2.3_all.deb
${rootDir}/pool # rootDir defined in aptly.conf
└── 47
└── 6e
Filename
The following items are concatenated to form the filename under which package is stored.
- 5th to the 31st characters of SHA-256 checksum
- "_" (undescore)
- filename of uploaded Debian as defined in Debian package file names
ex:
sha256sum 476e0cdac6bc757dd2b78bacc1325323b09c45ecb41d4562deec2a1c7c148405 my-package_1.2.3_all.deb
0cdac6bc757dd2b78bacc13253_my-package_1.2.3_all.deb
MD5
For each uploaded Debian package a MD5 checksum is computed. This checksum is used to create a file tree where each package will reside, with following hierarchy
Note: MD5 is only legacy layout. Its support is limited to 'read' files from the pool, it never puts files this way for new package files.
Directory and sub-directories structure
- 1st and 2nd characters of MD5 checksum as sub-directory name of rootDir/pool directory
- 3rd and 4th characters of MD5 chacksum as sub-directory name of the former
ex:
md5sum feea3c0c3e823615bf2d417b052a96b4 my-package_1.2.3_all.deb
${rootDir}/pool # rootDir defined in aptly.conf
└── fe
└── ea
Filename
Uploaded Debian is stored as-is and not renamed.
Example
${rootDir}/pool # rootDir defined in aptly.conf
