It's your opinion. No proxy support makes the tool unusable on any closed network (i.e. any "corporate" network). I believe this is an actual bug, and not a wishlist. Especially considering the correct behaviour of apt-get itself. Anyway... > Do you have an example of a perl program that works correctly with your my proxy setting has nothing special. It's a squid http proxy. As for the perl programs that work with it, I have NFC. I'm using a fully fledged Gnome desktop system with that proxy, so if there's any perl program underneath it's obviously working well with it... > current proxy? I have no way of testing proxy behaviour and I appear to testing proxy behaviour is simple: instead of directly connecting to the websites, the program should instead connect to the proxy (and then send a request for the target website) > make it easier to fit it into apt before Squeeze.

I was merely using apt-cross as part of the emdebian receipe to build a cross-compiler, but said receipe seems to fail to give me what I want anyway, so I think I'm just gonna build the whole cross toolchain by hand "the good ol' way" and that'll be it ;P HTH -- Thibaut VARENE http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
