pdk channel update gives 404 not found

[johansmolinski]

When running pdk channel update I get 404 Not Found on http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/testing-updates/main/binary-armhf/Packages.gz. Seems like the closest existing file is Packages.xz.

14:28 $ pdk channel update

Hi @johansmolinski we have deprecated PDK in favour of our new tool dibby: https://github.com/64studio/dibby/

However, if you'd like to have a go at updating PDK to work with current Debian repos, I note that the .gz format is assumed on line 606 of https://github.com/64studio/pdk/blob/master/pdk/channels.py

Cool! I’ll rather look in to the recent one. Thanks!
