Re: [bitfolk] Testing out apt-cacher-ng for Debian/Ubuntu package caching

Hi Chris, On Thu, May 24, 2012 at 02:38:08PM +0100, Chris Dennis wrote: Easy way to check is to look if the actual mirror has what you're looking for: http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/ Note there's no wheezy/updates there. Your sources.list file is actually wrong. $dist/updates normally comes from security.debian.org (they're the security updates). See: http://security.debian.org/dists/ There you have a squeeze/updates and a wheezy/updates So your line in sources.list should actually be: deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib which when cached becomes: deb http://test-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main non-free contrib Not to be confused with "$dist-updates"! Which are the updates pushed from the main mirrors during the lifetime of the release, i.e. the replacement for what used to be known as "volatile". A sources.list for squeeze looks like this: deb http://test-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main deb http://test-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main deb http://test-cacher.lon.bitfolk.com/debian/security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main Replace "squeeze" with "wheezy" for yours (and add on non-free, contrib etc. if you like).
