Package: apt-cacher-ng Version: 0.6.3-1 Severity: wishlist Since apt-proxy was removed from Debian I currently migrate to apt-cacher-ng. As far as I can see, apt-cacher-ng deletes files by date (i.e. which are older than x days).
It would be great if apt-cacher-ng would instead (configurable) delete files by version, i.e. the latest n versions remain in the cache. This has several benefits: a) If a deb is installed much later, no redownload is necessary b) If an upgrade fails and the package releases seldomly, then the recent version is still there even though it was downloaded much earlier c) If a package is removed from Debian it is still in the cache, possibly for years, so if a later reference is needed (e.g. a (temporary) reinstall is necessary) then it is still present It would be great if the kind of processing (by date or by package version) could become configurable then. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
