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.
