Apt-cacher needs to delete corrupted files  
Written by fishy5 the 31 Mar 08 at 18:19. Category: Server. Related to: Nothing/Others. Not an idea
I love apt-cacher since it saves me and Ubuntu multiple gigs of bandwidth a month but recently I came across a problem with it. It's not a bug cause apt-cacher is working fine but it would be nice to include this feature. I had some updates that weren't installing because of a hash mismatch so I let a week go by and it of course wasn't fixing itself because the bad file was on my server not the mirror. I had to manually login to the server and delete those packages from the apt-cacher folder. This happened with about 14 packages within 2 weeks for some reason. If Apt-cacher could automatically purge those after a client fails to successfully update that would be convenient.

Evolution plugin for Citadel (groupdav?)  
Written by fishy5 the 31 Mar 08 at 23:13. Category: Server. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I know Zimbra and Scalix are popular solutions for groupware but I chose Citadel because it's more open. Unfortunately I discovered that the only way to use it with Evolution is with the groupdav plugin. It appears the groupdav plugin is extremely difficult to find even though it says it's in beta. I think we should include the beta groupdav plugin in the repository or find/create an alternate plugin that will work.
