So that's probably excusable. But then, dgit pull already downloaded these same source files, and seemingly threw them away after setting up the git repository. Do you think it would make sense for dgit to cache these on its own, or will I need to throw a caching proxy in front of it to make it usable in bandwidth contstrained environments? The caching proxy option is complicated by dgit push uploading files to the archive, which a later dgit push is apparently going to want to download back -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dgit depends on: ii devscripts 2.13.2 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.1 ii git [git-core] 1:1.8.4~rc2-1 ii git-core 1:1.8.4~rc2-1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.1 ii libwww-perl 6.05-1 ii perl 5.14.2-21 Versions of packages dgit recommends: ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.2p2-6 Versions of packages dgit suggests: pn sbuild <none> -- no debconf information -- see shy jo
