[Apt-proxy-users] Keeping cache clean under various circumstances

[mi <mic...@gm...>]

Hello. I'm new on this list, and i didn't even read any mails from 
you.I subscribed because i recently decided to test apt-proxy 1.3.6 on 
my little home network of one PC and several laptops; and i have some 
questions.
My boxes are all Debian 3.0r2 GNULinux, connected via standard 
ether100mbit, but the apt-proxy server host is on a slow dial up modem 
(around 6KByte/s).

* When ditching a whole section (e.g., changing 'security 
stable/updates' to
   'security woody/updates') or upgrading to a new dist-release
   (e.g. from woody to sarge), can i delete all related files in
   the cache manually ?

* Can i delete the dkg-name.links directory which apt-proxy-import creates
   (containing links to apt cache) manually ?

* I suppose, it's doing 'update packages list' from a LAN client, when 
the proxy
   is _not_ online, which left stuff like this in the packages cache:

ls -l /var/cache/apt-proxy/debian/dists/woody/main/binary-i386/
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy nogroup      6,3M 2004-01-15 03:42 Packages
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy nogroup      1,7M 2003-11-20 19:17 Packages.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy nogroup         0 2004-01-19 04:30 
Packages.gz.fail
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy nogroup        95 2003-11-20 19:57 Release
-rw-r--r--    1 aptproxy nogroup         0 2004-01-19 04:30 Release.fail

   Is there any problem with this ?



tia !
