[ILUG] APT: How do you typically propagate?

[Dermot Daly]

unfortunately,  I am using Fedora Core 1, which uses apt for RPM.  I.e.
I'm not using .debs.

Erm - what about
 apt-cacher - Caching system for .deb packages


Description: Caching system for .deb packages
 Apt-cacher performs caching of .deb packages which
 have been downloaded by local users. When a package
 is requested, the cache checks whether it already
 has the latest version, in which case it sends the
 package to the user immediately. If not, it
 downloads the package while streaming it to the user
 at the same time. A local copy is then kept for use
 by other users.
