The content of these files is likely to change between releases - I've
already got one change to make in apt-cross 0.0.6. This is my current
file, created by 0.0.6:
Dir "/home/neil/.dpkg-cross/"
{
Etc "/home/neil/.dpkg-cross/"
{
SourceList "sources.unstable";
};
State "unstable/"
{
Status "/home/neil/.dpkg-cross/status-unstable";
}
Cache "unstable/";
};
v0.0.6 will need that extra Status stanza (locally configured) to work
correctly.
What if I could add a line '#include apt.conf-unstable.local' that
could include a separate file? (Along the lines of how bind handles
named.conf.local?) It is probably the better solution, overall.
You could then leave apt-cross to manage
~/.dpkg-cross/apt.conf-unstable and have your proxy setting in
~/.dpkg-cross/apt.conf-unstable.local
I don't have a proxy setup to test, could you try this at your end? Any
additional content in these files is managed in the setup_config()
routine of apt-cross. Adding the include instruction at line 327 should
do the job. I need to know also if the absence of the .local file
causes any error messages, i.e. whether apt-cross should touch
the .local file or whether it can be left entirely to the user. It's
probably best if the #include doesn't specify a full path, I'd expect
it to work with a relative path or no path at all (as above). The
filename may need to be quoted though. Whilst testing, you may need to
put your own proxy line within setup_config() in apt-cross so that
emsetup uses the proxy even when updating.
Thanks.
