Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-27 Severity: wishlist * Package name : apt-cacher Version : 0.5 Upstream Author : Nick Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Jonathan Oxer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.apt-cacher.org/ * License : GPL Description : Caching proxy system for Debian software packages
Apt-cacher provides local caching of .deb packages for installation on multiple machines. One machine running apt-cacher acts as a proxy for all other Debian machines on the network, which use Apt as normal to perform installation but send all package requests to the proxy. Apt-cacher runs as a CGI under Apache, which makes it simpler than other package caching systems which are more self-contained. Other notes: Upstream development is a collaboration between myself and Nick Andrew (the initial author). -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux jon.ivt.com.au 2.4.18 #10 SMP Mon Jun 24 12:10:58 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
