What, exactly, did you experience or observe? I have the first usage in my /etc/yum.conf and it works. I just did a "yum clean all" and everything worked as expected with my squid proxy. (I am tunneling it through SSH, but that shouldn't matter in this case.) A quick glance at /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/config.py and /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/yumRepo.py says this usage is more complicated. You may be able to use a different proxy for each protocol, but "proxy=<URL>" is a perfectly valid usage. > The current approach is to file a bug report with bugzilla. > Should we continue with this approach? > > Do we correct the wiki version instead and then apply the > fixes to the DocBook version?
