Hello, I'm looking for a sponsor for http-replicator, a program I wrote myself. It's a single-threaded proxy server written in python. I started working on it some time ago because I needed a way to cache my downloaded debian packages so they won't have to be redownloaded for each individual pc. The existing solutions like apt-cacher and apt-proxy didn't really offer what I was looking for. I have tried to explain this on the website: http://gertjan.freezope.org/replicator.
A difference with these other solutions is that although http-replicator has package caching as its primary purpose it still is a general proxy server. The gentoo community also seems to find it quite useful, seeing this discussion: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=173226. Currently http-replicator is in the process of becoming an official ebuild, which is a bit odd considering I wrote it for debian :-). I hope it can be in debian as well. I've read the FAQ, it seems the following information is required: * Name: http-replicator * Licence: GPL * Description: Replicating HTTP proxy server * Website: http://gertjan.freezope.org/replicator Regards, Gertjan van Zwieten
