Bug#151109: ITP: apt-cacher -- Caching proxy system for Debian software packages

["Jonathan Oxer" <jon@ivt.com.au>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-27
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : apt-cacher
  Version         : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Nick Andrew <nick@tull.net>, Jonathan Oxer <jon@ivt.com.au>

  Description     : Caching proxy system for Debian software packages

Apt-cacher provides local caching of .deb packages for installation on
multiple machines. One machine running apt-cacher acts as a proxy for all
other Debian machines on the network, which use Apt as normal to perform
installation but send all package requests to the proxy.

Apt-cacher runs as a CGI under Apache, which makes it simpler than other
package caching systems which are more self-contained.

Other notes:

Upstream development is a collaboration between myself and Nick Andrew (the
initial author).
