<mvo> lukasz: right, well, libapt supports building its cache entirely in memory and that should work. I agree its not ideal that it would be inconsistent - a alternative is to use the /etc/apt/auth file to store the credentials but that would require some additional work and testing but its defeinitely a good idea <lukasz> mvo, so what would be a proposed solution? update libapt so for in-memory cache it ignored unreadable files? <mvo> lukasz: that will help, but it seems like the cleaner solution is to teach aptsources in python-apt to write passwords in a debline to /etc/apt/auth.conf - that file is in netrc style and can be mode 0600. it should be honored by all http/https/ftp methods of apt. but that needs testing and I'm not sure if the libapt support for this file is bugfree as this is not featured used much yet
