Package: debtorrent Version: 0.1.5 Severity: wishlist
Especially as long as apt-get and debtorrent aren't sharing downloaded packages, it would be nice if there was an automated way to purge downloaded packages. I understand that for bittorrent to work well, lots of people need to make the files available. However, not all machines can spare hundreds of MB of potentially duplicate .deb files. Maybe a configurable mechanism that takes the follwing variables into account could be implemented: - how many times the package has been re-uploaded and/or how much demand there is relative to the number of uploaders - how old the package is - is the package even still in the repository? It would be nice if I could say: "delete all packages that have been shared at least 100% or were downloaded more than two days ago" (for a machine that doesn't have a lot of room on /var). or "delete all packages that have been shared 1000% or are no longer available in the repo" (for a machine that has more space to spare) Thanks, Martin -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debtorrent depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii python 2.4.4-6 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.7.6 automated rebuilding support for p Versions of packages debtorrent recommends: ii apt-transport-debtorrent 0.2.0 an APT transport for communicating ii python-crypto 2.0.1+dfsg1-2.1 cryptographic algorithms and proto -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
