Once it's cooked, I guess it'll be included in the XS config rpm :-) In fact, being in the xs config rpm solves several problems -- installation of files, etc. At first reading, I'm realizing that there's many things I don't know about wwwoffle! - Current rpms are available, but not in Fedora. http://www.google.com/search?q=wwwoffle+rpm+2.9 so we'd need to review the spec and see if Fedora is interested in carrying it... - So xs-config will likely contain /etc/xs-wwwoffle files and an /etc/init.d/xs-wwwoffle init script that points to that directory (and /var/cache/xs-wwwoffle, etc). All of this can be modelled on what's in the rpm. - wwwoffle does act as a normal proxy too when online... but can't handle the switching between modes, is that right? So it seems we'll need a "controller" daemon that monitors whether we have uplink or not, and switches wwwoffle between modes. This script is probably the interesting part. Maybe there's something interesting in the rpm init script that we can copy or reuse. It'll probably need to handle - online / offline cases in a "pure wwwoffle" case - "wwwoffle + conventional online proxy" case, where when online we just call wwwoffle --fetch. Note that the conventional proxy may not be squid ;-) thoughts? m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list server-de...@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
