Package: apt Version: 0.7.25 Severity: wishlist Moving around a lot, I often switch my Debian mirrors. geo.debian.org is not really an option as that doesn't allow me to use internal mirrors. Whenever I switch mirrors in sources.list, however, /var/lib/apt/lists gets cleaned and everything has to be redownloaded. Maybe APT could check the *Release files in that directory and reuse existing files if they're found to be official Debian Package/Source lists? This would save me having to do the same s/// replace on the directory contents that I do in sources.list, which is arguably not that much trouble, but it would be nice if APT did it for me. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.10.2-3 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.2-8 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages.
