[Firl]

I would like to be able to specify a local repository for all Openstack charms.

ubuntu-cloud.canonical.com is a server in the UK so debs are very slow from the US.

Ed is requesting the ability to use a local deb-proxy provided by maas to provide openstack debs rather than going to the UK for these.

Explore using /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http { Proxy "http://$DEB_PROXY"; };

@thedac MAAS supports providing an apt cache via the http_proxy setting [1] which will be used by the region controller and any commissioned nodes.

Its actually possible to use openstack-origin in this way - it supports the format:

   <url>|<keyid|gpgkey>

so you can mirror locally, and then tell the charm to use the local mirror on deployment.

Caveat - you must maintain the same naming in the local mirror which is openstack series aligned, otherwise the charm won't know which openstack version its using!
