Hi list,
Whenever I try a new version of Fedora, the first problem I face is
setting the proxy. It seems for almost every application, I have to
specify proxy at a different place. We have this "System ->
Preferences -> Internet and Network -> Network Proxy" app to specify
proxy settings. But I wonder if there is some application which obeys
these settings.
Examples:
1. Yum (3.2.19-3.fc10) won't fetch proxy settings from above specified
location. It has to be set via proxy option in yum.conf or
http_proxy/ftp_proxy env variable.
The problem is that the above is Gnome thing, so it make sense for gnome
apps to use it, but yum a low level app there should work on all
systems, also sytems with no GUI.
My objective was not to blame Yum or revisor or whatever else. I was
blaming the proxy setting system we have.
