I am using apt-cacher and apt-build. apt-cacher keeps it's stash in /var/cache/apt-cacher/ and apt-build keeps it's stash in /var/cache/apt-build/repository.
I have two debians installed. Deb1 and Deb2 on hda1 and hda2. I only use one at a time. For instance, I am using Deb1 currently, I make backups of deb1 and at some point verify that the backups work by doing a net install of debian to deb2 and restoring my backup to deb2. At which time I will switch and use deb2 for a while. During that time deb1 is unused. I want to both to use the same /var/cache partition. /var/cache has its own partition. I already share /tmp and swap. Is there anything in /var/cache, or is there anything that could be in /var/cache that would cause problems if it was shared in this way? I see that debconf has stuff here. Is there any likely problem sharing this partition in this way? I don't really know what I am doing which is why I am asking. I don't really know what debconf does, is it going to be a problem? Is there a better way? ls /var/cache: apache apt apt-build apt-cacher apt-listbugs debconf dictionaries-common fonts gnome-system-tools locate lost+found man man2html setup-tool-backends -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
