>From Lars Noodén:
"Many sites have an HTTP+FTP proxy/cache already set up and running. If I
understand correctly would be possible to use Apt.conf to run requests
to Ubuntu's repositories through the proxy/cache. I would like the
examples document for apt.conf to include a sample configuration for
squid or some other common proxy/cache. (Note, this should not be
"apt-cacher", though it might be useful to mention "apt-cacher" in
*addition* to a regular proxy cache. However, since few sites have
apt-cacher in place, using an example of a regular proxy/cache is
needed.)
When setting up, updating, patching or upgrading a large site, speed
would be increased several orders of magnitude by having a local cache.
This would also be good for the Internet as it would reduce unnecessary
congestion."
I have confirmed that the examples in apt for 0.8.3 still do not contain
any examples for proxy setup.
