Overriding with an extra local repos and turning is +also possible. + +After installation (see INSTALL file), you can use eg: +http://your.server.com/mageia/distrib/1/x86_64/ +as an urpmi distrib repository to install from or setting it in your other +mageia machines. + +It proxies all releases, versions and architectures and even iso files, +since it just caches files. Only the files you'll effectively request, +will be stored in the cache though. Even though some files are always checked +before checking for cache, in the event that those files can't be checked, +it'll use those cached files anyway. + +ADVANCED USAGE: +--------------- +This standard usages will let you cache your whole network (or chroots), but +not the machine this urpmi-proxy is running on. You can actually do this by +configuring the sources in the config file to the ones you were using in your +urpmi settings, and then remove all configured media from urpmi; then +adding the media, directly from your server with this proxy url. |
