OK, I do not have problems with gwdg at all right now (besides that smart was not using my proxy and tried direct connections which are not allowed here). > > I'm not 100% sure the timeout length is configurable in > smart, as of now. > > There are a few configuration settings that affect the file > fetching algorithms in Smart, though: > socket-timeout > max-active-downloads > > The maximum number of download retries is currently hardcoded > to 30 (see MAXRETRIES in > smart/fetcher.py). > > BTW, you can also override the HTTP and FTP proxy in the > Smart configuration: > smart --option http_proxy=proxyserv:3128 install ... Where the hell do I get this information from? I tried the FAQ and all files in the RPM containing information, but I could not find anything. So do you know a place for some documentation? I would like to play around with smart; but even a "smart config --show|grep -i proxy" did not come up with any information; so I assume not each possible configuration option is given but only the explicitly set ones. > > If you want to make that option persistent, then use the > following commands: > smart config --set http_proxy=proxyserv:3128 > smart config --set ftp_proxy=proxyserv:3128 That worked; great! Thanks BTW: Is there a way to easily migrate my apt configuration to a smart one?
