not yet, but if you can tell me what could be improved on documentation, you can tell me. > I guess that on the client side i just remove all repos, then > urpmi.addmedia --distrib http://my.local.server.IP/mageia/1/x86_64 yes, there is even a way to have the server use it itself. the trick here, is to specify in the /etc/urpmi-proxy.conf file the mirror you'll be using manually, and then removing repos on the server and adding sources from the urpmi-proxy on the server itself too... > Can i have urpmi-proxy proxy both x86_64 repos, and i586, for the different > clients? And also cauldron for two (dual boot) clients? yes, it works for all mageia tree, stable, cauldron, x86_64 and i586 and even SRPMS > > On a side note, any tip what to use to proxy all http easily? > And if possible all youtube; my children watch many times the same film... > (But thanks to gcompris and other awesome educative games that use has > decreased) squid is indeed good, for urpmi i still recommend urpmi-proxy, as it'll be much nicer because it can tell exactly which is new and which is recent.
