Description-en: automatic detector of common APT proxy settings
auto-apt-proxy installs itself as an APT proxy autodetector, and detects
common setups by checking localhost and the network default gateway for
well-known APT proxies such as apt-cacher-ng.
.
This package is most useful for development environments, and will Do The
Right Thing for:
.
* build chroots, with a proxy running on the host system.
* docker/lxc containers, with a proxy running on the host system.
* Virtual machines with NAT networking, with a proxy running on the host
* system.
* any other system, with a proxy running on its default gateway.
.
The following APT proxy servers are supported and automatically detected:
* apt-cacher-ng
* approx
* apt-cacher
* any proxy advertised by an _apt_proxy._tcp SRV record in your domain
.
This package has a minimal set of dependencies in order to minimize the
influence on systems where it is installed.
.
This package does not query mDNS SRV records, which would require avahi.
If you need that, consider the `squid-deb-proxy-client` package instead.
