To use a caching proxy to help with yum/dnf/packagekit, you need to ensure that those updaters always use the same repo mirror. So you need to configure your updater, first. While configuring it (yum, dnf, etc) to use a particular mirror, you can set it to always go through your proxy. You don't have to specially configure your proxy. It'll just cache anything going through it, unless you have some other rules to prevent it. That's what I used to do. I set up my /etc/yum.conf files to always use the Linux mirror that my ISP provided, set them to use my Squid proxy, and just set Squid up to be a caching proxy in general. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 5.0.16-100.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 14 18:22:28 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
