Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 3.2-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainers,

Many thanks for the packaging of this application ().

Two questions about this application.

After reading  the documentation and many  blogs on Internet, it seems
not  possible to set  maximum size  to  the parameter : "CacheDir:" in
configuration file.

As a result, of course, after some times, this directory can be full.

Of course it is possible to mount this directory to one dedicated disc
mount point, but the issue is always the same, it depends of disc size
(!).

My dream   is to  specify  one limit  (!)   in this  parameter,  with
potential associated   policy (optional) to   manage automatically old
files when disc is full for example.

Q1: Is it possible ?

Q2: Furthermore, it seems that when disc is full, then all clients
can not download files when launching apt update/upgrade  with following
error : "Failed to update apt cache", perhaps due to
[HTTP error, code: 503] in /var/log/apt-cacher-ng/apt-cacher.log ?

Thanks in advance for your answers
