Package: apt-cacher
Version: 0.8.6
Severity: wishlist
It would be useful if apt-cacher could be taught that
security.debian.org updates 'asynchronously' to other
mirrors. Either by setting a lower expiry threshold or simply
by not caching the packages list at all (.deb files would still
be cached).
The reason is that apt-cacher uses an 8 hour timeout by default,
this means that any security updates which are released do not
show up until this timeout has expired and the new list is
downloaded.
I can work around the problem by:
- manually deleting the cached lists from the apt-cacher server
(ick!)
- using a sources.list which bypasses the cache. This is a pain
for large security updates on multiple machines since the .deb
is not cached.
- turning down the global expire value. This is non-optimal
for all the non-security sources which only update once per
day or so.
But I think it would be nice it apt-cacher could handle the situation
itself.
Thanks,
Ian.

This is no longer true for the version 0.9.4 in Debian Stable ;-).
There it does check the index file validity by looking at server's HTTP
headers (by default, see comments in apt-cacher.conf).

Eduard.
