I wanted someway of caching both debs and rpms but couldn't really find anything that was easy to use and setup. The user manual for apt-cacher-ng had a limited amount of info on using it with openSUSE but I initially couldn't get it to work. After some configuration tweaking I got it working and thought other people might be interested in using this as a solution. I'm also hoping other people with come forward with the solutions they have found that have worked for them (or improvements to what I've done). In my particular case apt-cacher-ng is running on a Debian server but that shouldn't make any difference. The changes I've made to the apt-cacher-ng configuration file acng.conf are as follows: VfilePattern = (^|.*?/)(Index|Packages\.bz2|Packages\.gz|Packages|Release| Release\.gpg|Sources\.bz2|Sources\.gz|Sources|release|index\.db-.*\.gz| Contents-[^/]*\.gz|pkglist[^/]*\.bz2|rclist[^/]*\.bz2|/meta-release[^/]*| Translation[^/]*\.bz2)|repomd.xml|xml.gz|content|media$ PfilePattern = .*(\.deb|\.rpm|\.dsc|\.tar\.gz\.gpg|\.tar\.gz|\.diff\.gz| \.diff\.bz2|\.jigdo|\.template|changelog|copyright|\.udeb|\.diff/.*\.gz| vmlinuz|initrd\.gz|(Devel)?ReleaseAnnouncement(\\?.*)?)$ The openSUSE changes I've made are to the repo files in /etc/zypp/repos.d. I've added the line: proxy=<ip of apt-cacher-server>:<port-of-apt-cacher-server-3142-by-default> at the bottom of each of the repo definition files. That was all that was needed. The only real issue I have is apt-cacher-ng doesn't seem all that fast to updating is a fair bit slower than normal. -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
