In ouput from `apt update` what do 'InRelease' and 'Release' refer to?
Here is an example showing the 'InRelease' and 'Release' line suffixes:
# apt update
Hit:1 http://security.debian.org stretch/updates InRelease
Ign:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease
Hit:3 http://sfo1.mirrors.digitalocean.com/mariadb/repo/10.2/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:4 http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/debian stretch-updates InRelease
Ign:5 http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable InRelease
Ign:6 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stretch InRelease
Hit:7 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable Release
Hit:8 http://ftp.debian.org/debian stretch-backports InRelease
Hit:9 http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb stable Release
...
I know what a Release is. Although a web search for InRelease didn't turn up much.
