Considering approx and syslog-ocaml inclusion in sarge ?



Hi all, ...

Would it be meaningfull to include approx and syslog-ocaml in sarge ? The only
reason they didn't make it before the freeze was that i was travelling and
didn't detect that syslog-ocaml was mishandling the non-native arches case.

I have been using approx for over two month now daily, and it works fine, and
as said, it is not a package that has any reverse-dependencies or something.

The only remaining problem is for the m68k autobuilder to pick up the
syslog-ocaml build, and the m68k, mips and ia64 autobuilders to pick up the
approx builds, which should hopefully happen any day now.

Here are the infos concerning said packages :

Package: approx

Description: caching proxy server for Debian archive files
 Approx is an HTTP-based Debian archive server.
 It fetches packages from remote repositories on demand,
 and caches them for local use.
 .
 Approx saves time and network bandwidth if you need to install or
 upgrade Debian software for a number of machines on a local network.
 Each package is downloaded from a remote site only once,
 regardless of how many local clients install it.
 The approx cache typically requires a few gigabytes of disk space.
 .
 Approx also simplifies the administration of client machines:
 repository locations need only be changed in approx's configuration file,
 not in every client's /etc/apt/sources.list file.
 .
 Approx can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy,
 with no need to modify clients' /etc/apt/sources.list files,
 or as an alternative to apt-cacher, with no need to run Apache.
 .
 Approx is intended to be robust, simple, and efficient.
 It is written in OCaml (Objective Caml).
