I will merge Josh's patch after some testing this weekend. The name "XDG_CACHE_DIR/aptitude-download-cache" is not great. In the future we may want another file in there, such as binary cache of aptitude pkgstates. Changing the name to "aptitude/metadata", as that is what this particular file is used for (changelogs now, perhaps copyright file in the future). > The reason for this new stab with the modified patch is because I > think that somehow it's important to remove the litter and not leave > ~/.aptitude/cache behind.
