squid is solid, stable and works good enough for most of what i need. i have experienced many problems with apt-proxy, often difficult to reproduce. there's frequently release-critical bugs against it(at the moment, one unsolved rc bug from summer 2005). it consumes far too much memory to run on many systems. i also like being able to: export http_proxy=http://foo:3128 and disable with: http_proxy="" i've toyed with the idea of using python-cdd to create something similar to apt-proxy, but it's probably over my head :) live well, vagrant -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
