Approx ; apt-proxy ou apt-cacher

Bonjour.
Avez-vous utilisé un des ces trois outils et lequel des trois conseilleriez vous pour gérer un petit nombre de machines en sid ayant le même source.list et le même preferences.

apt-proxy: Description: Debian archive proxy and partial mirror builder apt-proxy automatically builds a Debian HTTP mirror based on requests which pass through the proxy. It's great for multiple Debian machines on the same network with a slower internet link. . The archive is automatically kept up to date using http, ftp or rsync. Cache cleaning of unused and old versions is configurable. You can also import the contents of your apt cache into the archive using apt-proxy-import. . For more information, see the apt-proxy homepage at http://apt-proxy.sourceforge.net

apt-cacher: Description: caching proxy system for Debian package and source files Apt-cacher performs caching of .deb and source packages which have been downloaded by local users. It is most useful for local area networks with slow internet uplink. . When a package is requested, the cache checks whether it already has the expected version, in which case it sends the package to the user immediately. If not, it downloads the package while streaming it to the user at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use by other users. . Apt-cacher has been optimized for best utilization of network bandwith and efficiency even on slow low-memory servers. Multiple ways of installation are possible: as a stand-alone HTTP server, as a daemon executed by inetd or as a CGI program. The client machines are configured by changing APT's proxy configuration or modification of access URLs in sources.list. . The package includes utilities to clean the cache (removing obsolete package files), to generate usage reports and import existing package files. Experimental features include a simple package checksum verification framework and pre-fetching of new packages (upgrade candidates). . Apt-cacher can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy, with no need to modify clients' /etc/apt/sources.list files (and even reusing its config and cached data), or as an alternative to approx.

approx: Description: caching proxy server for Debian archive files Approx is an HTTP-based Debian archive server. It fetches packages from remote repositories on demand, and caches them for local use. . Approx saves time and network bandwidth if you need to install or upgrade Debian software for a number of machines on a local network. Each package is downloaded from a remote site only once, regardless of how many local clients install it. The approx cache typically requires a few gigabytes of disk space. . Approx also simplifies the administration of client machines: repository locations need only be changed in approx's configuration file, not in every client's /etc/apt/sources.list file. . Approx can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy, with no need to modify clients' /etc/apt/sources.list files, or as an alternative to apt-cacher. . Approx is intended to be robust, simple, and efficient. It is written in OCaml (Objective Caml).

hello,

apt-proxy est plus mature…et permet aussi de prendre qu’une version chez toi sid…

Pas tout à fait 100% Sid, il y a du Sid, Du Lenny et peut être même du Etch sur chaque machine. (c.f. le truc et astuces “votre source.lit au carré”)
