Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 0.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
currently, if apt-cacher-ng is configured for redirection, not just merging,
and the first preferred upstream mirror is responsive but malfuntcioning
(resets connection, doesn't have files it should have etc.), acng clients
can't download files.
It would be great if you could introduce some form of fallback mechanism
that would cause acng to try failing http requests on other mirrors before
reporting failure to the client.
Something like "FallbackLimit n" would be nice, where an additional n
mirrors would be tried in case a file couldn't be fetched from the first
(even though it did respond). It could default to 0, which is the current
behaviour.
