Re: APT Repo with authentication

[Henning Schild <henning.schild@siemens.com>]

Hi Jonas,

that is indeed something i never came across. It should not be too hard
but might indeed require some changes to Isar.

In case it is simple plain http auth you can put the credentials into
your sources.list URI. "deb http://<user>:<passwd>@super.secret/crap"

That should work for DISTRO_APT_SOURCES_append files without a problem.
I kind of doubt you could easily bootstrap from such a repo, but if it
is just "additional packages" it should be fine.

If you want to store credentials in a separate file in
/etc/apt/auth.conf.d/*.conf, you will have to patch Isar to support
that.

And of cause you can always have a proxy somewhere in the middle, which
abstracts the auth away. And DISTRO_APT_PREMIRRORS could be used to
toggle that.

regards,
Henning
