I've written a yum plugin to use Avahi to find proxy server's on a
local network (see the attachment). The idea is that I do not have to
configure a proxy server in the yum config, especially due to;
a) My laptop is used across many networks and I do not want to mess
with the proxy config all the time.
b) I do not always want to turn on the machine with the proxy server
whenever I check for updates
In particular I wrote this plugin when upgrading my various Fedora 8
machines to Fedora 9. I used http-replicator to cache all the rpm
downloads and setup avahi to broadcast the proxy server address.
Later, when large updates are available I can fire up my proxy and all
the machines will use it, rather than eat into my download limit.
Is this something you are interested in adding to the yum-utils package?
Have I correctly used the yum api?
