That would be helpful in some situations anyway, and it would be a workaround around the problem described in this bug. But I regard it only as workaround, not as solution. > I've implemented this here: > https://gitorious.org/~alext/xen-tools/alext-xen-tools/commits/apt_proxy Thanks! >From a first glance it looks good and I'll probably include your patches. I'd though change two things: * Change the option's name from apt_proxy to apt-proxy. * Instead of prepending the environment variable to some command, I'd prefer to use $ENV{http_proxy}, etc. Anyway, thanks for the patches. Will pull them at least for the next major release.
