Hi, In our network we have no gateway and no DNS server. All internet access is done via a Squid-proxy. So we need to proxy ftp over http.
This is no problem with ubuntu-http sources, but with ftp. There is a Bug in Ubuntu preventing us from using /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.30.42:2121";; Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://192.168.30.42:2121";; http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=123144 In a running system we could just add the proxy settings like this: /etc/environment or /etc/bash.basrh ftp_proxy=http://192.168.30.42:2121 http_proxy=http://192.168.30.42:2121 and use 'apt-get update' But that did not work inside the chroot during installation ;( So we had to set ROOTCMD via a .var file to: --- ROOTCMD="chroot $target /usr/bin/env http_proxy=192.168.30.42:2121 ftp_proxy=http://192.168.30.42:2121 --- This helped so far, but install_packages does't respekt the ROOTCMD So we changed line 118 of install_packages from $rootcmd = ($FAI_ROOT eq "/" ) ? '' : "chroot $FAI_ROOT"; to $rootcmd = ($FAI_ROOT eq "/" ) ? '' : "chroot $FAI_ROOT /usr/bin/env http_proxy=192.168.30.42:2121 ftp_proxy=192.168.30.42:2121"; This works for me, but Is there any better way to do this?! or any other way to influence the install_packages behaviour ?
