[Apt-proxy-users] with apt-rpm

[Sven H. <sv...@ne...>]

Hi,

I have been trying to get an apt-rpm shipped and running on woody (with
proposed-updates) to work to a Red Hat apt-rpm install.  My add_backend
entry is:

add_backend /redhat/                                    \
        $APT_PROXY_CACHE/redhat/                        \
        http://apt.freshrpms.net/   

and on the red hat system the /etc/apt/sources.list file looks like:

rpm http://chef.nj.nec.com:9999/redhat redhat/8.0/en/i386 os

where chef is stable woody server.  I'm using the apt-rpm downloaded
from:  http://apt-rpm.tuxfamily.org/
and have tried the tuxfamily URL in the apt-proxy.conf to no luck.

First question is, am I on drugs for even trying this?  I am willing to
upgrade/build apt-proxy to unstable versions if I am not doing something
stupid and people thing that it will help get apt-proxy working with
apt-rpm.
