Bug#324013: Wish: Allow binding to a specific IP on outbund connections

[Sven Mueller]

Package: reprepro
Version: 0.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Basically, the subject already says it all.

I would like reprepro to be able to bind to a specific IP on outgoing
connections. The reason behind this is that I have two servers, each
with 2 IPs. Their primary IP has a huge transfer contigent included
while I have to pay for every megabyte which is transfered using the
secondary IP. However, outgoing connections mostly bind to the secondary
IP for some reason (well, actually only on the hot-standby of the two
servers, the active server uses iproute2 to set the default IP on
outgoing connections to the primary IP via heartbeat). Since reprepro is
the major source of traffic on outgoing connections, it would be really
nice if I could make it bind to a specific IP for its outbound
connections.

regards,
Sven

Well, reprepro does not contain any downloading code at all, it simply
calls apt's methods from /usr/lib/apt/methods. Or one could write an
new apt-method doing the downloading (There was once one written in
perl for using scp circulating around, which could be takes as example
if there is something like wget with an option for it.) Another
possibility would be to specify a proxy which then connects to
a specific port.
