Package: approx Version: 4.5-1 Severity: wishlist it seems like approx downloads pdiffs, applies them to the appropriate Packages or Sources file, and then throws the pdiff away. this causes approx to download the pdiffs multiple times if multiple machines request some of the same pdiffs.
i think it would be better to actually cache the pdiffs and only purge them when approx-gc is run. pdiffs seem like a very safe thing to cache, being that the filenames are unique, and that the *.diff/Index contains checksums that can verify valid filenames for pdiffs (and the Release file can be used to validate the Index). thanks for maintaining approx! live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
