Yes, apt-cacher-ng works for Fedora updates. You have to make some changes - First, on the client side, comment out "metalink" lines, and uncomment "baseurl" lines. This is because the metalink will keep loading new https:// repositories, and apt-cacher-ng cant cache those requests, as you know. Second, watch the caches in /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng , and add any new ones to the fedora_mirrors file - this is because that file doesn't contain all Fedora repositories. After a while you will have almost all your Fedora updates cached, and will see the speed increase. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
