Hi All,
Is there something similar to apt-cacher available for CentOS? I would like
to ensure that an application is only downloaded once to the network and not
hundreds of times.
If there isn't an equivalent, would someone please point me in the direction
of how I might accomplish this with CentOS?
I asked the same thing some time ago, but I wasn't able to came with a
solution.
I set up a local mirror of updates with mrepo: is a waste of bandwidth (I am
mirroring tons of apps I don't need, laguage packs and so on), but is the
"best" solution I found.
At this time I guess we should ask the people that develop yum: does anyone
know how to get in touch with them?
Install squid, configure it so it only caches those files from a certain
location or with a certain extension and then give it a large enough pool
of diskspace so it can cache everything you require.
Then use that as a proxy for all your apt/yum depsolvers.
There is really not that much to it.
I had troubles with this setup with corrupted metadata (or similar, I don't
remember); also you have to disable the mirrors, otherwise squid would download
the same file for each mirror.
I agree that configuring local repos or squid could be of some help, but I
don't think that there is a real solution, but just a work-around.
