Changes:=20
 apt-proxy (1.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=3Dlow
 .
   * New upstream release
     - New config file paramter, MAX_VERSIONS, to limit the number of packa=
ge
       versions to keep in the cache directory.  Thanks to Martin Schwenke.
     - New parameters for apt-proxy for runtime setting of config file and =
log
       file locations.  Thanks to Gerhard Muntingh. (closes: #77929)
     - Use the package filelists logic from Martin Schwenke to send the siz=
e of
       package files before downloading, meaning connection keep-alive logi=
c can
       be used.
     - Fix the problem of files being corrupted during streaming (often see=
n as
       a MD5 sum error which would go away when the file was requested from
       apt-proxy again), by switching back to using dd instead of tail.
     - Check for corrupted .deb and .gz files in the cache before sending
       them to the client. (closes: #132493)
     - Bye bye .diff: The Sourceforge project is now up to date and include=
s the
       debian packaging.
   * Really rename main archive name, not just put it in the changelog
   * Add logrotate script
   * Clean up debian/rules and use DH_COMPAT=3D3
   * If setting up apt-proxy for the first time, do the following:
     - Create a user, aptproxy (closes: #99259)
     - Add an entry to inetd.conf, without disabling it (closes: #81746)
     - Create a log file owned by the user (closes: #109308)
     This is currently first-install only.  I plan to introduce an upgrade =
path
     for existing users using debconf when I have time.
   * Move installation instructions that are no longer necessary when using=
 the
     packge into a seperate file, INSTALL.
   * Remove extra manual installation instructions that are no longer neces=
sary
     from README (closes: #132439)
   * Merge remaining information from README about finding rsync servers in=
to
     apt-proxy.conf manpage.
   * Add UK rsync servers to default apt-proxy.conf, thanks to Simon Huggin=
s.
