The apt-cacher-ng package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: apt-cacher-ng/modifytargets Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Configure apt-cacher-ng to transparently reroute requests to different mirrors? Apt-cacher-ng can silently and transparently reroute user requests to different mirror(s). To simplify required configuration this setup can create or modify lists of target hosts. Template: apt-cacher-ng/gentargetmode Type: select _Choices: Create once, Create now and update later, Disable target rerouting _Default: Create once _Description: Configuration mode of download sources: The lists of target mirrors (download sources) for popular distributions can be created based on information in the current sources.list file. Optionally, the lists can be updated to match sources.list on every later update of the apt-cacher-ng package. . Alternatively, the target mirror rerouting can be disabled now by removing the current targets from existing lists.

Description: Caching proxy for distribution of software packages
Apt-Cacher NG is yet another implementation of a HTTP proxy for
software packages, primarily targeted at Debian/Ubuntu packages but
may also be used with others types.
.
It follows similar principles as others (Apt-Cacher, Apt-Proxy,
Approx) and serves the same purpose: a central machine presents the
proxy for a local network and clients configure their APT setup
to download through it. Apt-Cacher keeps a copy of all useful data
that has been passed through it and when a similar request appears,
the old copy of the data is delivered without redownloading it from
the Debian mirrors.
.
Apt-Cacher NG is more than a simple rewrite of Apt-Cacher. It was redesigned
from scratch and is written in C++ with main focus on maximizing throughput
with low requirements on system resources.
