# Approx Redirector
|
|
|
|
This simple Python 3 script does redirect all entries in your `sources.list` and `sources.list.d` files to a given approx instance.
|
|
It redirects all entries cached by the approx server
|
|
but does not change uncached repositories.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- Looks up cacheable repositories
|
|
- Supports ≈99.9 % of all approx configurations out there (except approx forcing https)
|
|
- Verboses changes if requested
|
|
- Can rewrite sources files if run as `root`
|
|
- Does backup old sources files for easy restoring
|
|
|
|
### ToDo
|
|
|
|
- Support https for approx
|
|
- Implement '--mirror' mode
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
- Obviously requires a Debian-based system
|
|
- Requires `python3` and `python3-request` to be installed
|
|
|
|
Assuming `approx` is the hostname of the approx cache you want to use.
|
|
You can use an IP address instead.
|
|
You can append a port by using `approx:9999`.
|
|
By default `http://` will be used
|
|
but you can specify https as protocol, too: `https://approx` (**not supported yet**).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./redirect.py -v approx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script will check which entries can be redirected
|
|
and report these to stdout.
|
|
If you want to approve these changes, run as `root`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./redirect.py -vc approx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now your system will use the approx cache.
|
|
The old entries are commented out.
