No, you are just rediculously impatatient. Date: 06 Jan 2001 19:26:59 +0100 Subject: rsync support for apt Date: 07 Jan 2001 22:42:02 +0100 Subject: apt maintainers dead? Just a bit over 24 hours? Tsk Tsk. The short answer is exactly what you should expect - No, absolutely not. Any emergence of a general rsync for APT method will result in the immediate termination of public rsync access to our servers. I have had discussions with the rproxy folks, and I feel that they are currently the best hope for this sort of thing. If you want to do something, then help them. Jason
