It's possible and easy to set up a local apt proxy using apt-cacher. This would make the build process much faster as well as would be friendlier to the official raspbian repo server.

@zsero I had a look at this a few months back and I found the mirror to occupy about 150GB or something... There is a way to actually clone only the needed packages by using debootstrap --download-only but this requires minor tuning on Spindle, there might probably be other ways too.

This is related more to our environment than dr itself. If you want to set it up, feel free. It's going to save some time, but I personally think it's not going to be a massive change.

I know it's not going to be a massive change, but it's definitely one of the options we have to make building faster. I believe it would cut almost one minute from each building time.

@skarbat I think making a mirror would be huge, but apt-cacher would only be a proxy, not a mirror, but I'm not an expert in this.
