Configuration file
apt−proxy−import imports .deb files into the apt−proxy cache.
It uses the package lists to determine where each file should be placed, so you should run ’apt−get update’ to allow apt−proxy to update the package lists before running apt−proxy−import.
USING TO BOOTSTRAP A NEW APT−PROXY CACHE
If you have been using apt standalone, you probably have built up a large collection of .debs or .udebs in apt’s cache directory. You can import these files into apt−proxy as follows:
1. Update
apt−proxy’s filelists:
apt−get update
2. Import files
from apt’s cache:
apt−proxy−import /var/cache/apt/archives
IMPORTING APT−MOVE CACHE
You can import the apt−move generated cache into apt−proxy using the following command:
apt−proxy−import −r /var/cache/apt−move
This tells apt−proxy−import to recuse over each directory in the apt−move cache.
FILES
/etc/apt−proxy/apt−proxy.conf
BUGS
apt−proxy−import does not use max_age or max_versions to clean the cache directory on import.
It does not yet import source.tar.gz or Packages files.
You must run it as the apt−proxy user or as root.
