Package: approx Followup-For: Bug #460428 I have a supplementary wishlist. I don't want only a fallback for another mirror of the same (partial) archive. Let me explain my need.
I use approx to cache access to the Kali repositories. Kali is based on Debian and reuses the same .deb/.dsc etc. I do have a local Debian mirror and 95% of my downloads from Kali do in fact download some files that I already have locally in my Debian mirror. It would be nice if approx could just download everything from "dists" on the Kali servers but lookup all files on the local mirror when they are there. Here's what it could look like in approx.conf: kali [restrict_to=pool ignore-404] file:///srv/mirror/debian http://http.kali.org When using the "file" URL, approx would not cache the file, instead it would just use the local file. With a remote URL, it would just download it.
