Aptly cannot mirror Elastic logstashforwarder mirror

[jstangroome]

Add Elastic's logstashforwarder repo to aptly and attempt update:

$ aptly mirror create logstashforwarder http://packages.elastic.co/logstashforwarder/debian stable main
$ aptly mirror update logstashforwarder

ERROR: unable to update: HTTP code 404 while fetching http://packages.elastic.co/logstashforwarder/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-noarch/Packages

This appears to be because the architectures in Elastic's Release file don't match the actual package architectures:

$ curl http://packages.elastic.co/logstashforwarder/debian/dists/stable/Release
Architectures: noarch
...
SHA1:

Would be good to be able force Aptly to override the Architectures: line in the Release file.

I will raise a similar issue with Elastic about this mismatch in their repository.

@jstangroome you can override list of architectures using -architectures flag. You can do that during aptly mirror create, or later using edit:

aptly mirror edit -architectures=i386,amd64 logstashforwarder
aptly mirror update logstashforwarder

@smira this does not work in aptly 0.9.5.

oh... I've added -force-components some time ago to deal with wrong component list. Looks like we need -force-architectures as well to workaround broken repos...
