While testing PXE installation of Main-Server+Thin-Client-Server, I noticed some packages are not cached by squid:
tjener:~# grep MISS /var/log/squid/access.log |cut -d" " -f6,8|grep http 23574657 http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jre-headless_6b11-9.1+lenny2_i386.deb 38672493 http://security.debian.org/pool/updates/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_2.4.1+dfsg-1+lenny3_i386.deb 28968950 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/f/freepats/freepats_20060219-1_all.deb 49545333 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/g/gcompris/gcompris-data_8.4.4-1.1_all.deb 21995217 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/k/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-de_3.5.10-2_all.deb 34942127 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/k/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-es_3.5.10-2_all.deb 27822529 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/k/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-sv_3.5.10-2_all.deb 28785705 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/s/stellarium/stellarium-data_0.9.1-4_all.deb 24112549 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/t/tuxpaint-stamps/tuxpaint-stamps-default_2008.03.01-1_all.deb 39844485 http://ftp.skolelinux.org/debian/pool/main/o/openclipart/openclipart-svg_0.18+dfsg-5_all.deb tjener:~# I believe this is because Squid is configured to not cache very large files, like the 38 MB large openclipart-svg package. I suspect this is something we should address in a later version of Debian Edu. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
