Expiration mechanism is needed to delete files from the local cache when
they are removed on the servers, e.g. when the software versions of the
package is updated and the package files are replaced. This is rarely
needed when Stable system distribution is used by the clients, but use of
unstable branches with high fluctuation requires to clean up the local
cache from time to time. ACNG includes helper code to identify
unreferenced files automatically (executed with the button below).
Warning: this operation redownloads all index files. The current
implementation does not support delta-based reconstruction of index files
("pdiff" mechanism).
Importing package files from foreign sources works in following case:
Files can be assigned to known download locations. The locations become known when they are found in index files. However, this index files must exist in the package cache, therefore at least one client needs to download them, i.e. running "apt-get update" on a client system which is configured for use with ACNG. See ACNG manual for more details.
When all conditions are met put your files into the "_import" directory, e.g. /var/cache/apt-cacher-ng/_import/. Subdirectories and symlinks are ok. Then run import.
