Hi, I would like to reopen this bug, as that package trusts any source it publishes itself as a proxy apt_mirror. I would like to see the optional caché feature implemented in apt, so that if we have something like apt-cacher-ng, we can rely that our computer will be updated thought it might not be available.
In the way of making just one optional proxy, I don't like trusting any server said to be a mirror, just mine or the official ones. It would be nice to see this feature like configuring in /etc/apt/apt.conf an optional proxy like this: Acquire::http::Proxy::Optional "http://192.168.2.233:3142";; ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827627 Title: apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/827627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
