[Apt-proxy-users] Transferring .debs from one apt-proxy cache to another...

[Roland G. <rol...@me...>]

I look after two apt-proxy servers - one at work, the other at home.  The
home system is connected via a 56K modem while work has a much better
Internet connection :-)

Periodically I burn a CD of the .deb files in apt-proxy directory on the
work system and copy the files into the apt-proxy directory at home.
Apt-proxy seams to cope with this and when I upgrade the home systems, it
performs the rsync which sends and receives only a couple of hundred bytes
to confirm that the file is up-to-date.  Still much better than performing
an rsync with a previous version.

Unfortunately, when I upgrade another system at home, apt-proxy performs the
same rsync over and over again.  I'd really like to avoid the additional
traffic - any suggestions?

Today I discovered apt-proxy-import and will give it a try tonight to see if
it avoids these extra rsyncs.

Cheers,
Roland.
