I've updated pkg-cacher and vztmpl2.  They can be installed or upgraded from http://repo.opensource-sw.net/debian, http://repo.opensource-sw.net/centos or http://repo.opensource-sw.net/fedora.

pkg-cacher
========

The main improvement is support for installation as a cgi script.  The original apt-cacher supported cgi but it was broken when I rewrote it as pkg-cacher.  The previous pkg-cacher package has been split into 3 packages.  The new pkg-cacher package contains the core code but requires manual configuration to configure and start.  There are two new packages pkg-cacher-sa and pkg-cacher-cgi.  These new packages depend on the core pkg-cacher but install and configure it for stand-alone or cgi-mode respectively.

When upgrading, the old pkg-cacher should be uninstalled first then install either pkg-cacher-sa or pkg-cacher-cgi depending on the desired mode of operation.

Since Debian Sarge has been moved to the archive new entries for debian-archive and debian-archive-security were added to the path_map.

Also the documentation was cleaned up and obsolete scripts were removed.


vztmpl2
======

There were a number of changes made to the templates:

    Fedora 8 and 9 templates now use the newkey repositories created after the Fedora servers were compromised.

    Debian Sarge template updated to match the move of the repository to the debian-archive servers.

    Ubuntu Intrepid template added.

    Berkeley style ptys created for Ubuntu so that vzctl enter works.
