Hi all,
I was wondering if there was any such thing as an opportunistic apt
source.
By opportunistic, I mean that I want to be able to define repositories
that have no Packages.gz of their own and might or might not be
available at any given time.
If I try to install foo, I would love to have a way to try a few other
sources before falling back to the proper servers configured.
I.e. when I am at home, my laptop would access my main desktop
box which is usually up to date.
If I am at work, my laptop would use the company's debproxy.
If I am somewhere else, I would use a proper mirror.
Obviously, there would need to be some sort of mechanism to
discard packages which can not be verified to guard against MITM.
Does anything like the above exist?
