-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Hi,
I'd like to propose moving apt-cacher to main. I haven't done main inclusion reports before so bear with me while I dive into this :) Description: caching proxy system for Debian package and source files Apt-cacher performs caching of .deb and source packages which have been downloaded by local users. It is most useful for local area networks with slow internet uplink. I have used apt-cacher in many different scenarios and I believe it is a good candidate for inclusion in main. During my work at Canonical as a systems support analyst there have been a few occasions when customer would have benefited of having official support for this too. I checked security vulnerabilities and it seems there is only one back in 2005, fixed within hours of being reported: http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2005-1854 The package seems well maintained, see: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/a/apt-cacher/apt-cacher_1.5.5/changelog I also think this would be a good candidate to have on the LiveCD installer and/or the Server CD installer images, as in many scenarios CDs are used for a first install and then other PCs in the same LAN could use that first install apt-cacher to save tremendously on bandwidth - a common situation outside high-bandwidth areas. I'd like to hear opinions on this, I already put the unedited main inclusion report template in but I wanted to start the discussion here before going any further. I also aim to get apt-cacher approved in the server package review: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerPackageReview .
