SYNOPSIS
/etc/approx/approx.conf
DESCRIPTION
Each non-blank line of the configuration file should contain a name/value pair, separated by white space. Comments start with a "#" character and continue to the end of the line.
The following names have special meaning:
- port
- Specifies the TCP port on which the approx(8) server listens for HTTP requests (default: 9999)
- interval
- Specifies the time in minutes after which a cached file will be considered too old to deliver without first checking with the remote repository for a newer version (default: 720, or 12 hours)
- max_wait
- Specifies how many seconds an approx(8) process will wait for a concurrent download of a file to complete, before attempting to download the file itself (default: 10)
- debug
- Specifies whether debugging messages should be printed (default: false)
The other name/value pairs are used to map distribution names to remote repositories. For example,
-
debian http://debian.mirrors.pair.com
security http://security.debian.org/debian-security
