Yes, I did this in response to the problem Philipp reported, and yes, I forgot about the use-case of moving the whole cache via a symlink. In the next upload approx will (again) support specifying the cache location in the config file, as well as alternate locations for config files. That should allow users to relocate the approx cache without needing a symlink. Are there any other valid uses for symlinks in the approx cache that you can think of? I know that some duplication could be saved by symlinking (testing -> squeeze, unstable -> sid, etc.), but I don't know any way to do that automatically (to query a remote HTTP server to find out if something is really a symlink ...) -- Eric Cooper e c c @ c m u . e d u -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
