[taprobane] Caching: apt-cacher vs apt-proxy

Hi all,
After going through apt-cacher and apt-proxy, i came to believe that apt-cacher is a better solution, especially considering it's maintained (sarge has 0.9, etch has 1.1 and sid has 1.4). If nobody has objectives, I'll go forth and make apt-cacher the recommended way of caching packages.

I think we'd better to move with apt-cacher. we (sahana core team) have very bad experience with apt-proxy. Regards!

Here is an example - think of a hypothetical package called x which has version 6.8.2 in testing and 6.9.0 in unstable. This is what happens in apt-proxy if the max number of versions is set to 3 if the users are using both testing and unstable (and if my understanding is correct, of course). - User A users testing and B users unstable - A downloads testing 6.8.2-1 - B downloads unstable 6.9.0-1 - A upgrades to testing 6.8.2-2 (a new version released) - Now apt-proxy has 3 versions in the cache - B upgrades to 6.9.0-2 (a new version release) - Apt-proxy deletes the oldest version 6.8.2-1 to keep only 3 versions - B upgrades to 6.9.0-3 (another new version - unstable is moving faster) - Apt-proxy deletes the oldest version 6.8.2-2 Now there are three versions, 6.9.0-{1,2,3} and no 6.8.2 versions. The first two are useless and the needed version 6.8.2-2 is deleted. If cleaning up is donw with Packages.gz file, there will be only two pakcages left (6.8.2-2 and 6.9.0-3) which is exactly what we want. Also apt-cacher runs under apache, so it doesn't need to handle HTTP and scaling complexities - which is one reason for "503 service unavailable" errors in apt-proxy. Anyway, more testing and feedback is highly appriciated.
