Let me summarize what I think you're suggesting: 1. Leave my environment alone (currently set via /etc/profile.d scripts for all users). 2. Install and enable James' plugin on machines that need yum no_proxy to work. 3. Copy the http_proxy line from /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh into /etc/yum.conf. 4. Add proxy=_none_ to specific repos which need no_proxy functionality. Is that correct? If so, I believe the only problem is that a mirrorlist would break this in my existing case. I manage a private mirror of Fedora, Centos and EPEL. Mirrorlist / MirrorManager sees my netblock and provides my internal mirror at the top of the list. If that mirror is up and proxy=_none_, we're fine, but if my internal mirror is down and yum jumps to the second mirror, it will be unable to download anything since http_proxy IS required for the external mirror. Is this correct? If so, I think I can live with that over my current situation, but I just wanted to make sure I understand things before moving further along. Is there any work in progress to get no_proxy working upstream in urllib2 / urlgrabber so I can turn off http_proxy per domain instead of per repo? Thank you. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | . | | | . | | | .
