We actually used to do that, but it was removed for #309802. We were even honoring the Last-Modified header so it wouldn't be re-downloaded unnecessarily. I think the correct fix for that bug would've been to use a tempfile instead of the cache directory if the cache directory wasn't writable, so let's do that now. -- James GPG Key: 4096R/331BA3DB 2011-12-05 James McCoy <james...@debian.org>
