Package: apt-cacher Version: 1.6.1 Severity: normal It would be nice if apt-cacher could cache the necessary repository details for redhat/rpm/yum etc, as well. Looking through /usr/sbin/apt-cacher, it seems to already support .rpm files[1]. Perhaps it would be nice if .hdr files, and primary.xml.gz (or all .xml.gz?) also worked.
If done, you'd want to mention rpm in the package description too, to make it easier to apt-cache search. (incidentally, there may also be a want for caching .exe files as per http://polibyte.com/blog/change_filetypes_cached_by_apt-cacher . I've formed no firm view on this. ) [1] I haven't yet tried to see how effective it is -- I need to convince my boss to let debian into our workplace first, and if apt-cacher can cache redhat repository stuff, then that would be a good start. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apt-cacher depends on: ii bzip2 1.0.5-0.1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii ed 0.7-1 The classic unix line editor ii libwww-curl-perl 4.00-1+b1 Perl bindings to libcurl ii perl 5.10.0-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction Versions of packages apt-cacher recommends: ii libberkeleydb-perl 0.34-1+b1 use Berkeley DB 4 databases from P -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
