RPM and proxy

[Matthew Polashek]

Hi!

Can anyone help me configure my box to navigate proxy .pac files?  I'm 
trying to install CCRMA for my school computer but I need to get rpm to 
work with the proxy.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Matt

RPM doesn't really use the network to my understanding, so how can it
use a proxy? Did you mean yum? If you did , google "yum+proxy"

RPM does know how to access packages specified by URLs, but I
don't think either RPM or yum know anything about autoconfiguring
proxy settings though .pac files.  You'll probably have to get
the proxy address/port and either put it in the yum config file
or export it like:
export http_proxy=http://my_proxy_address:port
before doing the rpm or yum command.
