And I am rewritting apt-cacher in C++ right now. I am not sure whether I should create a new apt-cacher-ng package or use the old package. I plan to break with some things in the new implementation: - drop IP filtering. First I wanted to keep it and use libwrap for IP verification, but libwrap seems to be non-reentrant. Any suggestions? - rename some config variables to make the naming more consistent - drop download rate limiting Regards, Eduard. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
