Re: [PATCH 0/9] Introduce local apt repo to cache upstream debian packages for offline usage

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

Hi,

how does series compare to "apt-cacher-ng"? Looks to me like that tool
does something very similar, and it most likely deals with gpg and
other details with more care.
I might be wrong, but if that tool was never considered ... i think it
should be before inventing it again.
