Moreover, if you are goofing around with where you get your packages

particular package), you need to do the cache freshening *after* you
change the source location.
I could really really use a caching solution for pkgin, and I am sure
many
others could too.
gcc49-4.9.4.tgz for example is 324MB which on my home broadband takes
12-15
minutes. It's senseless to repeat that unnecessarily.
Are you in a position to share your nginx caching config setup?
One option that I deploy in the pkgbuild image by default is Dave
Eddy's fs-caching-server:
https://github.com/bahamas10/node-fs-caching-server
In the pkgbuild image it's used to cache downloads into the local
build chroots, but it can be used as a general purpose cache for
remote clients too.
Thanks, I had come across that already but wasn't sure whether it
could handle https, now that pkgin uses that.
For other readers, here's Dave Eddy's article which fleshes out
how to use node-fs-caching-server:
