Where do I > configure the proxy-port? for the directory structure, have a look at one of the FTP sites that mirror a debian distribution. there's a list at http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors to get you started. scrounge around there to find a few common denominators between different mirrors, and emulate that. (this is what i'd do until i find that there is a document out there that points the way. which will probably be about seven minutes after i send this missive.) for example: my cursory investigation shows -- dists/ + potato/ + Contents-*.gz + contrib/ + binary-*/ + source/ + main/ + binary-*/ + source/ + non-free/ + binary-*/ + source/ + stable@ <symlink to potato> + unstable@ <symlink to woody> + woody/ + Contents-*.gz + contrib/ + binary-*/ + source/ + main/ + binary-*/ + source/ + non-free/ + binary-*/ + source/ as far as massaging your /var/cache/apt/* stuff, that's probably what apt-move is for, but i've not investigated that just yet. > hypocrite. most of your clan don't advertise.
