We had discussed the proxy approach last year. It doesn't support apt's
pluggable fetch schemes and is, being a pure network tool, completely
apt-agnostic. One can get the initial mirroring done with it, but implementing
further use cases like updating the cache without deleting it or selectively
picking just a few packages and, optionally, their dependencies requires apt
introspection. I think adding and maintaining that in a C++ tool designed for a
different purpose is not the way to go. That is why we should be reusing apt
code to stay up-to-date with Debian. libapt + python-apt provide what we need,
and other projects have good experience with that. aptly claims selective
update support, so that is also on our list.
With kind regards,
Baurzhan.
