Hi Belen,
Sorry this is so long, I don't know how to turn off my verbose switch.
On page 4 you mention Shane's intention to have proxy settings in the UI
- I just want to point out that this is usually an OS level
configuration and we should be wary about how we implement it.
I'd suggest we go so far as to just have a "Change system proxy
settings" button which launches the OS's network configuration settings.
Of course, this opens us up to potential issues around supporting the
multitude of available network configuration tools on Linux but I'd
suggest we start with a lowest common denominator approach and have the
program behave intelligently.
Explicitly we can detect whether the binary gnome-control-center and the
so file /usr/lib64/control-center-1/panels/libnetwork.so exist (being
clever about that path, too) and if so we can execute:
"gnome-control-center display network"
Which will display the network configuration (and therefore proxy)
settings for stock Fedora and Ubuntu desktops.
The above is all moot if we're just going to configure the proxy through
sites.conf as per Saul's recent mail.
Will sites.conf setup proxy settings for git, subversion, and cvs?
The proxy situation is a mess under Linux. This is likely to be a
non-trivial problem.
