Re: [Apt-proxy-users] configuring apt-proxy v1 on debian sarge (testing)

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

Debian Sarge runs an a.p. of nearly version 2 (more exact, 1.9x), with a new config syntax,
where the old file 'apt-proxy.conf' is used by version 1 only.
Both files are present in /etc/apt-proxy/ so that you can up/downgrade without editing
the config files. You have to keep the correct one (or both) up to date.

Attached below is my apt-proxy-v2.conf. It runs on y dialup box and is designed for only occasionally serving other boxes on small a home LAN.

';' leads comment lines in this version-2-type config.
Note the 'http' debian package server URLs.
Also, as far as i know, there's no 'security' service for testing (but will be for sarge when it's getting released).

I also attach an example sources.list.
