No. apt itself should not implement a discovery service. But it should support another proxy directive where apt does not just die when the given cache is unavailabe, but just uses the next cache in the list or no cache at all as a fallback.
This is not about finding proxies. This is about surviving the absence of a configured proxy, which is a completely different problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827627 Title: apt should be able to use an opportunistic cache/proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/827627/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
