I will fix this as the default, but it is now a configurable item. See installer_files_regexp in apt-cacher(1). Having read the documentation, I have realised it may not be entirely clear that this is the correct config item to tweak. But if you add the necessary items to the default, something like installer_files_regexp = ^(?:vmlinuz|linux|initrd\.gz|changelog|NEWS.Debian)$ I think it should work. Please could you verify and let me know if it doesn't. Thanks Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
