Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 3.7.5-1.1 Severity: wishlist
Hello Eduard, I've been using apt-cacher-ng extensively for building the live images for Debian. Thank you for this tool! It has saved me from downloading many gigabytes of data. Recently I've experimented with snapshot.debian.org to build images from a specific timestamp. I've been able to save some downloads by having the pool of snapshot.debian.org and deb.debian.org overlapping with the following Remap (in acng.conf above the Remap-debrep line): Remap-debrepppool: snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20260111T142729Z/pool snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20251011T083425Z/pool deb.debian.org/debian/pool This places all shareable files in the debreppool directory and the dists subdirectories stay separate. However, it is rather inconvenient to specify every single timestamp individually, if I would like to use another timestamp. Would it be possible to have a wild card for the timestamp in the remap line?
