Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.33 Severity: wishlist
Says here:
% zgrep -n '^1. ' /usr/share/doc/apt-proxy/README.gz
16:1. Edit apt-proxy.conf to select the nearest backend servers for you.

That could be at least partly automated.
Here's a 'sed' one-liner that picks through '/etc/apt/sources.list',
deletes commented out and blank lines, cuts the leading and
trailing stuff that's not needed, and cuts off any trailing '/'.
The result is a list of debian servers ready for the backend
section of 'apt-proxy.conf':
% sed -e '/^#.*$/d' -e '/^ *$/d' -e 's/[^ ]* //' -e 's/ .*//' -e
's/\/$//' /etc/apt/sources.list ; echo
Attached is a tidier shell script version of the above, easier to read I
hope. It'd be run like so:
% apt2aptproxy.sh >> apt-proxy.conf
It's a start, maybe somebody can improve it.
Hope this helps...
