Community Help Wiki Apt-Cacher-Server

[Rodney Beede]

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher-Server

The page is out-of-date. I tried Edit mode, but it's marked as "Immutable Page"

The line:

sudo apt-get install apt-cacher apache2

is out of date as you don't need apache2.

I tested the process with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

That page is not immutable, at least not now. Since you have ideas for improvement, it would be great if you could try again.

Due to the nature of the community help wiki, you can't request changes to it in the form of bug reports.

I log in, but the page still says Immutable Page.

I'm giving up on contributing since the community wiki doesn't work for allowing edits. I've attached my one updated revision I attempted.

Thanks for the proposed text, Rodney! I'm disinclined to insert it myself, since I don't know the topic. Also, wondering about this claim:

"Because Debian and Ubuntu have identically named (but different) .deb packages in their repositories..."

AFAIK if Debian and Ubuntu use the same name for a .deb, the files are identical. The Ubuntu convention is to append 'ubuntu1' etc. to the name when making a modified version of a Debian file available.

Anyway, I asked about the immutable page problem on the ubuntu-doc mailing list.
