Clever Ubuntu Linux.
Has anyone kept all the 6.06 update downloads, for sharing?
Request met, offlist ta.
Have found /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20archive for where to stop them being
cleared out in future i think - disable line thus?:
#APT::Archives::MaxAge "30";
I tried a test edit to
APT::Archives::MaxAge "120"; #was 30 rt 17may07
and the Package Manager icon lit up on reboot, to say
"E: Syntax error /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20archive:2: Extra junk after value"
From "man apt.conf":
Syntacticly the configuration language is modeled after what the ISC
tools such as bind and dhcp use. Lines starting with // are
treated as
comments (ignored). Each line is of the form APT::Get::Assume-Yes
"true"; The trailing semicolon is required and the quotes are
optional.
So do this:
APT::Archives::MaxAge 120; // was 30 rt 17may07
// Michael.
..so that's not how. I guess a MaxAge "1095" should see LTS out :)
..But I had Synaptic set to "Leave all downloaded packages in the
cache" and "Keep history"!
- Not always so intuitive.
