Good morning all, For quite some time I've tried apt-cacher and settled on apt-proxy for a few years, for caching deb packages on a LAN to reduce internet bandwidth usage and to speed up apt-get processes.
Since apt-proxy has moved to using the twisted framework, I've found that apt-proxy's suckiness ranges from "oh I'm going to take 6 hours to complete your apt-get dist-upgrade because I'm busy doing something in the background" to "I don't know what to do so I'll throw you a random HTTP error", which annoys me to no end. apt-cacher is no better, as it munges each debs it downloads with some HTTP headers. So, has anyone come across something like apt-proxy or apt-cacher, but it doesn't suck? (Yes I know it sounds like a big ask) :) Regards, Bill -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
