Package: approx
Version: 4.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
when running approx for a large number of systems the Release and
Release.gpg file gets fetched many times. On a approx for ~800 systems
there were 194 requests for Release / Release.gpg from backports in a
single minute.
Maybe Release and Release.gpg files should not allways be a
Cache_miss. Even caching it for a minute would greatly reduce the
number of requests made to the upstream server.
Similar a "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" responce from the server should be
cached for a short time preventing hammering the server with requests
for a non-existant file from each client.
MfG
