Note that this currently affects certain subnets where http_proxy is a requirement. However, I'm running an internal private mirror. I have $no_proxy set to .cisco.com. When the default Fedora config for [fedora] tries to get the mirrorlist, a .cisco.com host is listed first. In order to retrieve the mirrorlist, I had to use the HTTP proxy, but the first host returned needs to bypass the proxy. Since no_proxy is broken, I need a workaround. I was thinking that I could replace the mirrorlist URLs with baseurl pointing straight to my internal mirror and set proxy=_none_. For repos where I don't mirror internally, the yum.conf http_proxy would work properly. It appears your plugin removes http_proxy from env, but then yum.conf http_proxy would be read and proxy=_none_ could override on a per-repo basis. I believe this provides the workaround I need, but it's not ideal. Thanks. /Brian/ -- Brian Long | | . | | | . | | | .
