transparently proxy repositories

[stappersg]

I wonder how this relates to #34
Is it same thing these (#46 and #34) issues are about?

Hi @stappersg

No, this is to do with configuring repos in sources.list.
https://github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil/blob/master/cmd/go-apt-cacher/USAGE.md

With apt-cacher-ng, I only have to tell apt to use the proxy, either by setting the environment variable :

http_proxy=http://<apt-cacher-hostname>:<apt-cacher-port>
https_proxy=http://<apt-cacher-hostname>:<apt-cacher-port>

or by configuring apt.conf:

Acquire::http::proxy "http://<apt-cacher-hostname>:<apt-cacher-port>";
Acquire::https::proxy "http://<apt-cacher-hostname>:<apt-cacher-port>";

go-apt requires you to change the hostname for every entry in all sources.list files. Eg:

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty main restricted

becomes

deb http://<go-apt-cacher hostname>/ubuntu trusty main restricted

Unless I have misunderstood the configuration.
Could someone knowledgeable chime in? thanks :-)
