Since I have >7 Fedora installations I setup a squid proxy server specifically for the purpose of reducing my download data since many of the same packages are going to get downloaded over and over again.
I seem to be getting some hits (still looking for a GOOD squid analyzer!) but not as much as I would expect. I'm no regex expert but I tried to update the regex to pick up delta RPMS as well and may have made a mistake...
To use a caching proxy to help with yum/dnf/packagekit, you need to ensure that those updaters always use the same repo mirror. So you need to configure your updater, first.
I found some methods that use url rewriting but it's rather ugly...
One[1] suggested this:
/fedora/linux/releases/([0-9]+)/Everything/x86_64/(.*)$ http://repo.mirrors.squid.internal/fedora/releases/$1/$2 /fedora/linux/updates/([0-9]+)/x86_64/(.*)$ http://repo.mirrors.squid.internal/fedora/updates/$1/$2
There's got to be a proper and generic way of doing this. Keeping up with a list of mirrors isn't sustainable.
I'd be willing to create a new project to try and come up with a package that would automagically get this working but I'd need a lot of help...
Thanks, Richard
