A comment on Off-Grid Cyberdeck: Raspberry Pi Recovery Kit. Parent comment
As to caching, I tried setting one up and found out a few things.
I originally tried apt-cacher-ng:
https://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~bloch/acng/
but had trouble (can't remember exactly what) and muddled through polipo instad.
I found out:
- it was a lot easier and faster than copying cached packages around
- when doing "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" the cache really sped up multi-machine updates. The first machine was slow, the rest were fast.
- By far, the majority of cache traffic was for updates to base stuff. foo-1.2, foo-1.2.1 foo-1.2.2, etc.
- second was prerequisites for packages I needed.
- the few specialized packages I used were not updated as frequently.
