Hello, please consider adding apt-cacher 0.9 to Sarge. It's not an easy decission but I would do that. The current version had following problems (summary): - for many it is not useable well with apache2: seems to leave many zombies with Apache2 in with popular configuration (#310566, #281697) - had bad locking problems: #251468 (this alone should have been RC, IMHO) - could only be used with apache or apache2 (no alternatives because of use of proprietary CGI vars). The new version allows usage of any httpd-cgi provider (in theory) - does not support time stamping, leads to desynchronisation of Packages/Release/package files with the remote archive - some cruft code I rewrote in 0.9 most likely caused package data corruption (#251660) - just look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=apt-cacher , about 20 bugs would have been fixed by using version 0.9.2 Current bugs in my new version 0.9.2: none (that I am aware of) Potential bugs: IMHO not in the parts I worked on (I have adopted the package). The experimental features are disabled by default, disabled in a non-invasive way. The people need to run an upgrade script once but that's all. The cached data is not damaged by the upgrade and can be converted easily. Regards, Eduard. -- Ambassador Vir Cotto: Prophecy is a guess that comes true.
