Hi -- To keep ADSL usable during the day I have a script that runs the following actions overnight:
/usr/bin/apt-get update && /usr/bin/apt-get autoclean && /usr/bin/apt-get -dy dist-upgrade && /usr/bin/apt-move update && /usr/bin/apt-get update I have an apt-move.conf file with these values set: APTSITES="/all/" LOCALDIR=/usr/mirror/debian DIST=testing PKGTYPE=binary FILECACHE=/var/cache/apt/archives Amongst others. I then have these lines in a source file: deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing main deb file:/usr/mirror/debian testing/updates main contrib non-free So the idea is that all the updated packages download overnight - are put into the apt-move repository (where they also get served up over HTTP to other machines) and where I can use them locally. This used to work - or rather this worked and then stopped working and there may be changes in the above reflecting fiddling trying to get things to work. The problem is that often apt-get is still trying to download things that are already available locally, i'll see it try to get something from the archive - and then if I do a find on /usr/mirror i'll see that it's already been downloaded overnight. I'm loathe to use apt-proxy instead as I've found it to be rather unstable in use. -- regards, chris
