Hi All, I know there are very good reason not to use yet another "non standard" package, and configuring squid to do the work or making a local mirror. My feeling is that none of the "standard" solution is optimal for me, so I'm triyn another way. Http-replicator is small, and easy to setup. The patched version permits, through regular expressions to choose what kind of files to keep in a "flat" cache (where all the files with the same name are considered equal regardless of the source site or mirror). So I can select "RPM$" and/or "DEB$" and so on, and just tell yum/apt to use a proxy. I did some tests unpacking the attached version and it looks working without problems. I'll attach the patch as well as the full patched package, because my friend used a version which is no longer available on rpmforge.
Regards
Lorenzo
