Package: apt-proxy
Version: 1.9.31
Severity: wishlist
Currently I have two backends, one for amd64 and another one for my
i386 changeroot (and soon my ppc machine). The reason I use apt-proxy
is to limit the amount of data downloaded.
It would be nice, if there was a way, that all arch-independent files
went into one backend, right now I get, e.g., vim_common both for amd64 *and*
for the other ones, so downloaded twice.
I understand that this feature is not easy, but I suspect there will
be more inofficial ports in the future (mixing BSDs, different
endianess (see recent discussion about arm), different glibc) and more
and more "big" arch-all packages will be created to ease load on the
archive/CDs/DVDs.
Thanks!
