Bug#511578: default AutocleanInterval to > 0

["Thijs Kinkhorst" <thijs@debian.org>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.7.20
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Please consider to change the default for APT::Periodic:AutocleanInterval
to something higher than 0 (e.g. 7).

My rationale is that in the current default setup, APT's package cache
will grow indefinitely. The autoclean option from the apt cron.daily
script provides an elegant way to prevent the cache from growing out of
control with old packages, but it is not run automatically; you have to
change the setting for that.

As I see autoclean doing no harm on a system by default, let's enable it
by default.


thanks,
Thijs
