[packagekit] Res: Getting and setting the proxy server

[mirttex85-pk at yahoo.com.br]

I don't know if i undestood well, my english is not that perfect
But i still thinking that the backend should set the proxy stuff,
i my case this /etc/sysconfig/ only has a packagekit-background file
so imho the client app should get from gnome/kde proxy settings and send
to the backend, the backend deals in the way it find it best.
this way the user don't have to know that there are two places.

No, I don't think so. I think it's a sane fallback, but users shouldn't
have to futz around in two places. I think packagekitd should
read /etc/sysconfig/proxy et al. and use these in envp for the new
process. This way we can change the proxy in the session and also have
packagekit do the right thing.

Could you attach a sample /etc/sysconfig/proxy for me to peruse please?
Thanks.

Richard.
