-----------------------------------
Summary: Allow configuring/disabling proxy for specific repoman package
sources
Key: OVIRT-1034
URL:
https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1034
Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: repoman
Reporter: Barak Korren
Assignee: infra
When running in CI we typically try to make sure that all resources retrieved over the
network will be retrieved through the PHX proxy in order to limit the amount of requests
going to the "real" internet. We typically do this in a blanket manner by
setting the proxy in the 'http_proxy' environment variable.
'http_proxy' can affect repoman because it can affect anything that uses the
'requests' library.
We want to prevent going through the proxy for resources that are already in the PHX data
center like those coming from
resources.ovirt.org or from
mirrors.phx.ovirt.org. It is
possible to simply unset 'http_proxy' when running repoman, but some times we may
have local and remote resources mixed in the same repoman run. Therefore we need the
ability to tell repoman at the package-source, when to go through the proxy and when to
not.
Note that 'yum' based tools have similar functionality, you can configure a global
proxy setting, and then you can configure it on a per-repo basis.
