[18:40] <zero_shane> hello - I have a question related to install via preseed - at install, I pass "http_proxy=..." - my goal is to *not* have to specify the PROXY in the preseed cfg - but it doesn't quite seem to work - I still have to pass a "d-i mirror/http/proxy ... "
[18:41] <zero_shane> is there some way to specify on the kernel/install time - the proxy to push down in to the installer, so I don't have to specify it in the preseed?  then I can simply do my builds by setting that install flag - and not have to modify my preseeds for different proxies
[18:42] <zero_shane> (if I've picked the wrong channel, apologies, and accepting redirects as appropriate)
[20:16] <CarlFK> zero_shane: I think the "on the kernel" bit is all that you should care about
[20:17] <CarlFK> it will override what is in the file, so doesn't matter if it is in the file or not.
[20:20] <CarlFK> zero_shane: what is your kernel append line?
[20:25] <zero_shane> hi @CarlFK - grabbing it now
[20:28] <zero_shane>   /linux noapic preseed/url=http://{{.HTTPIP}}:{{.HTTPPort}}/{{user `preseed_file`}} http_proxy={{user `proxy`}} hostname={{user `hostname`}} debian-installer=en_US auto locale=en_US kbd-chooser/method=us fb=false keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP keyboard-configuration/ layout=USA keyboard-configuration/variant=USA console-setup/ask_detect=false initrd=/initrd.gz --
[20:29] <zero_shane> the variable references are from Packer and filled in at runtime
[20:29] <zero_shane> the http_proxy ends up as:  http_proxy=http://10.10.10.10:8080/
[20:33] <CarlFK> in my preseed file I have: d-i mirror/http/proxy string http://g2a:8000/
[20:34] <CarlFK> do you know if http_proxy is a shortcut for that?  (there are a bunch, I forget where they are documented)
[20:35] <zero_shane> hmm - good point - no I don't think it's right - I do also have "mirror/http/proxy" there, which is what I was trying to overload
[20:36] <zero_shane> so - I think I might need to change the install/append line to use the preseed format of the proxy config
[20:36] <CarlFK> thats where I would start
[20:37] <zero_shane> I copied a "working" recipe for that ... :-)
