Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.28 Severity: normal In my /etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy-v2.conf I have:
;; Maximum number of versions of a .deb to keep per distribution max_versions = 1 but apt-proxy keeps many verions of one package in the cache anyway. For example: szrenica:/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/pool/main/v/vim# ls -al total 16168 drwx------ 2 aptproxy nogroup 4096 2005-04-04 00:30 . drwx------ 7 aptproxy nogroup 72 2005-03-31 20:52 .. -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 708614 2005-03-26 17:47 vim_6.3-068+1_i386.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 707610 2005-03-28 20:47 vim_6.3-068+2_i386.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 707738 2005-03-29 02:17 vim_6.3-068+3_i386.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 706604 2005-04-02 20:17 vim_6.3-068+4_i386.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 3425692 2005-03-26 17:47 vim-common_6.3-068+1_all.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 3425818 2005-03-28 20:47 vim-common_6.3-068+2_all.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 3425844 2005-03-29 02:17 vim-common_6.3-068+3_all.deb -rw------- 1 aptproxy nogroup 3424972 2005-04-02 20:17 vim-common_6.3-068+4_all.deb szrenica:/var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/pool/main/v/vim# I think it never deletes old versions. Anyway, apt-proxy has so many bugs, and it doesn't look like their number is going to be reduced in any near future, and today approx appeared in the debian repository. It is a replacement for apt-proxy. Maybe it will be less buggy, and maybe faster too. It is a compiled executable I think, and not a interpreted script like apt-proxy so it should be faster, apt-proxy was slow. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-386 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages apt-proxy depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.2-5 high-quality block-sorting file co ii debconf 1.4.48 Debian configuration management sy ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility ii python 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.5.10 Python interface to libapt-pkg ii python-bsddb3 3.3.0-6 Python interface to libdb3 ii python-twisted 1.3.0-8 Event-based framework for internet ii python2.3 2.3.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o -- debconf information: apt-proxy/upgrading-v2: apt-proxy/upgrading-v2-result: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
