**paccache - serve pacman cache and redirect via avahi service**
-By default every [Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/) installation
-downloads its package files from online mirrors, transferring all the
-bits via WAN connection.
-
-But often other Arch systems may be around that already have the files
-available on local storage - just a fast LAN connection way. This is
-where `paccache` can help. It uses [Avahi](http://avahi.org/) to find
-other instances and get the files there if available.
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To compile and run `paccache` you need:
-
-* [systemd](https://www.github.com/systemd/systemd)
-* [avahi](http://avahi.org/)
-* [libmicrohttpd](http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/)
-* [curl](http://curl.haxx.se/)
-* [iniparser](http://ndevilla.free.fr/iniparser/)
-* [darkhttpd](http://dmr.ath.cx/net/darkhttpd/)
-* [nss-mdns](http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/)
-* [markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) (HTML documentation)
-
-`Arch Linux` installs development files for the packages by default, so
-no additional development packages are required.
-
-Build and install
------------------
-
-Building and installing is very easy. Just run:
-
-> make
-
-followed by:
-
-> make install
-
-This will place an executable at `/usr/bin/pacredir`,
-documentation can be found in `/usr/share/doc/paccache/`.
-Additionally systemd service files are installed to
-`/usr/lib/systemd/system/` and avahi service files go to
-`/etc/avahi/services/`.
-
-Usage
------
-
-Make sure [multicast-
-DNS](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Avahi#Hostname_resolution)
-works. Then enable systemd services `pacserve`, `pacdbserve` and
-`pacredir`, open TCP ports 7078 and 7079 and add the following line to
-your repository definitions in `pacman.conf`:
-
-> Include = /etc/pacman.d/paccache
-
-Do not worry if `pacman` reports:
-
-> error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from localhost:7077 : The
-> requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found
-
-This is ok, it just tells `pacman` that `pacredir` could not find a file
-and downloading it from an official server is required.
-
-Please note that `pacredir` redirects to the most recent file found on
-the local network. To make sure you really do have the latest files run
-`pacman -Syu` *twice*.
-
-Security
---------
-
-There is no security within this project, information and file content
-is transferred unencrypted and unverified. Anybody is free to serve
-broken and/or malicious files to you, but this is by design. So make
-sure `pacman` is configured to check signatures! It will then detect if
-anything goes wrong.
