** Also affects: software-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
Rationale:
As stated in Ubuntu Brainstorm Idea #26532
(http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/26532/) a decentralized software
distribution concept could reduce the community's dependency on
expensive server infrastructure. Apt-P2P (http://www.camrdale.org/apt-
p2p/) acts as a proxy between apt requests and a repository server,
downloading any requested files from peers (if possible), but falling
back to a direct HTTP download. The question is: How is it possible to
faciliate the usage of Apt-P2P?
Feature Request:
A Peer-to-Peer tab should be added to the 'software sources'-window of
- Synaptic, including a button to active P2P networking (which could mean
- to install the apt-p2p package) and a list of all software sources
- listed in sources.list (which could look like the software sources list
- in the 'other software'-tab) where the user could activate/deactivate
- every single source for apt-p2p. If no source would be activated, the
- apt-p2p daemon could be deactivated (there's a option in /etc/default
- /apt-p2p).
+ Synaptic and/or Ubuntu Software Center, including a button to active P2P
+ networking (which could mean to install the apt-p2p package) and a list
+ of all software sources listed in sources.list (which could look like
+ the software sources list in the 'other software'-tab) where the user
+ could activate/deactivate every single source for apt-p2p. If no source
+ would be activated, the apt-p2p daemon could be deactivated (there's a
+ option in /etc/default/apt-p2p).
Additionally there could be an 'options'-button & -subwindow where users
can set the most important apt-p2p options (like the upload limit etc.,
see /etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf).
