Comment 1 for bug 1032183

Hi Moose

I raised this in #maas on Freenode IRC:

{{{
<jamespage> allenap, does maas support using alternative archive mirrors yet?
 say for folk who have a local mirror and no direct external access for servers being managed by maas...
<allenap> jamespage: Nope, I don't think so. rvba, do you know different?
<jamespage> it uses squid-deb-proxy for localize caching right?
 actually this might be related to commissioning only

<allenap> jamespage: Right, squid-deb-proxy is used. I didn't know off hand because it's configured by the package. Our goal for 12.10 is to provide caching by default and optional mirroring of everything that exists outside of a user's data centre.
<jamespage> allenap, ta - thanks for the information - I'll update the bug report
}}}

Looks like this will land for 12.10 if all goes to plan. squid-deb-proxy is a more scalable alternative to apt-cacher-ng and is already used in maas.

Marking 'Wishlist' (as its a feature request) and 'Triaged' as no further action is required at this point in time.

Thanks
