People have mentioned "Just use Squid" in the past relating to this
sort of problem. When I found Approx on Debian I just set up to use
that, and stopped investigating Squid. When Fedora Rawhide used DRPMs I
didn't worry. Now an update is 350Mb or 1Gb, I have to worry.

Part of my problem is I run an Apache2 instance on my server port 80,
so I'd have to find a workaround. Hence my thought of something approx
like which is really just a specialist stripped down Squid really, but
on a configurable port. The downside is changed APT sources.list, and
hence Yum  *.repo files. For me, on Debian, this penalty is worth it.

How does the Squid solution work for laptops which may be inside the
organisation boundary or outside it, I am guessing this means different
baseurls in all the *.repo files for the two cases.

So nothing preferred in Fedora systems land then. That means I have to
make a decision. This may be hard. :-)
