[22:47] <goodwill> Cyphus: so what are the side effects?
[22:48] <Cyphus> goodwill: I suppose it comes down to the fact that it sets the proxy for more than just the mirror.
[22:48] <goodwill> right
[22:48] <Cyphus> To me, "mirror/http/proxy" means it's going to use an HTTP proxy for apt stuff.
[22:48] <goodwill> that is not surprizing, given the name of the setting
[22:48] <Cyphus> But it affects wget.
[22:49] <goodwill> right
[22:51] <Cyphus> At this point I'd be interested in another setting that remains specific to apt, or a way to turn it off.
[22:51] <Cyphus> I'm about to test running "unset http_proxy" as a late_command.
[22:52] <goodwill> is there apt.conf in the installer?
[22:52] <goodwill> if there is we can just drop a configuration there
[22:52] <goodwill> and not mess with http
[22:53] <Cyphus> I'll take a look there, thanks.

[22:54] <ubot2> Debian bug 642159 in choose-mirror "debian-installer preseed broken with apt-cacher-ng mirror" [Normal,Open]
[22:54] <goodwill> yup
[22:55] <goodwill> Cyphus: can you give the link to the ubuntu mini.iso we have
[22:56] <Cyphus> one sec
[22:58] <Cyphus> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
[22:59] <Cyphus> looks like the latest is 12.04.05, FYI
[22:59] <goodwill> yup ...
[23:00] <Cyphus> goodwill: Are we going to update the mini.iso at some point to account for multipath updates?
[23:00] <goodwill> yes
[23:03] <goodwill> has anyone configured ubuntu-installer to use apt-cacher-ng only for installs?
[23:03] <goodwill> CarlFK: :) ^^^
[23:07] <CarlFK> hey goodwill.   years ago (4?) I tried various local apt things.  apt-cacher for sure, and I think apt-cacher-ng.   I settled on https://launchpad.net/squid-deb-proxy
[23:08] <goodwill> CarlFK: the current problem is that d-i mirror/http/proxy sets the http_proxy setting for the whole install ...
[23:08] <CarlFK> yeah.. pretty sure that bit me
[23:08] <goodwill> CarlFK: I am trying to figure out if a proxy setting can be setup for like anna installs
[23:09] <goodwill> and so on
[23:10] <goodwill> CarlFK: let me guess you set up a squid serve thet did a bypass for some thing but not others?

[23:11] <CarlFK> anyone have the Ubuntu bug report?
[23:11] <goodwill> Cyphus: ? ^^ ?
[23:11] <Cyphus> CarlFK: You mean the Ubuntu version of the Debian one you just linked?
[23:11] <CarlFK> right
[23:12] <Cyphus> No, but I can look.
[23:16] <Cyphus> CarlFK: http://pad.lv/568704
[23:16] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 568704 in debian-installer (Ubuntu) "debian-installer preseed "d-i mirror/http/proxy" sets env http_proxy" [Wishlist,Triaged]
[23:20] <CarlFK> huh.  1/2 surprised I didn't leave some notes
[23:25] <goodwill> Cyphus: so we have to think on this one
[23:27] <Cyphus> goodwill: At this point, I'm interested in the settings used here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642159#15
[23:27] <ubot2> Debian bug 642159 in choose-mirror "debian-installer preseed broken with apt-cacher-ng mirror" [Normal,Open]
[23:27] <Cyphus> Seems like a valid alternate.
[23:32] <CarlFK> ah.. I just let wget hit my squid, which then hit's the local web server.  lame, but works.
[23:35] <goodwill> right
[23:35] <goodwill> hmmm
[23:37] <goodwill> or use early command to create wrappers for anna, anna-installer and so on
[23:37] <goodwill> hmmm
[23:39] <goodwill> Cyphus: we can use squid to send all the package downloads to apt-cacher and rest just do a transparent pass
[23:41] <Cyphus> True
