[pacman-dev] Layout of package cache directory
Another question: I've been playing with using a network shared pacman cache as described in [1]. I've noticed that the serving machine will hold its own locally installed packages in `/var/cache/pacman/pkg/`, and the packages it caches in `/srv/http/pacman-cache`. These two directories have different layout, so it's not possible (I guess) to unify them. Would it make sense to change the directory structure of pacman's cache to be more like the one used by mirrors? Maybe it is possible to change the syntax of the `/etc/pacman.conf` to allow Server = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/$repo/os/$arch I think this should not be the default, but it would make a network-local cache leaner. ____________________ [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Dynamic_reverse_... -- http://stefan-klinger.de o/X I prefer receiving plain text messages, not exceeding 32kB. /\/ \
