[Apt-proxy-users] Performance problems on Debian/mips

[Manuel E. S. <ra...@de...>]

 Hello,

 First of all thanks a lot for apt-proxy, its a great program and an
 even better idea.

 I what to make clear that I don't what to start a flamewar and I'm not
 trying to force anything on anyone.

 apt-proxy runs quite slowly on the SGI Indy that I want to use as
 proxy, and I realized that it is written in shell script using the
 "Little powerful tools" philosophy, which has a poor performance. I
 never thought that a proxy could be written in shell script, quite
 impressive.

 Now to the point, what would be the drawbacks of using perl, python or
 even C instead of shell script?  At some point I may try to rewrite
 apt-proxy using one of those and I would like to know what you think
 about it.

 Take care

 	ranty
