<pre wrap="">Thanks!
From a first glance it looks good and I'll probably include your
patches. I'd though change two things:
* Change the option's name from apt_proxy to apt-proxy.

<pre wrap="">Makes sense. I wasn't sure which way to go as the existing options seem
to use a mixture.

<pre wrap="">Well, yeah, historically grown. But I'd prefer to not have underscores
in long options. Maybe we'll once change all of them to dashes, but
supoort underscores for backwards-compatibility.

I've realised a problem here... xen-create-image exports all the
config variables as ENV vars so that they're available to the hook
and role scripts. The trouble is that bash doesn't seem to like
variables with - in them, I'm pretty sure it's not valid.<br>
<br>
I guess either they need to all use the _ variant, or when exporting
the environment the names need to be converted to use the _
variant. That way they'd use the - variant on the commandline and
in the %CONFIG hash, but would use the _ variant in the %ENV hash,
and in hook scripts etc...<br>
<br>
There's even an argument for it to treat - and _ interchangeably
both on the commandline and in the config file.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy to take this on if it's considered a good idea.<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
