"Proxy" requests to public builder
It would be really nice if your on-prem-builder could automatically reach out to the public builder and pull in any requisite packages a la AptCacherNG.
There would probably need to be some guardrails to ensure packages aren't autoupdated "accidentally".
I think this would eliminate the issues I've been running into with the outdated bootstrap bundle.
Thoughts?
This is an interesting one indeed. We actually had behavior like you're describing above for a many months and ended up ripping it all out for a few different reasons. I'm not certain if the plan going forward is to add behavior like this back to the on-prem-depot or not. I think it's something we probably need to discuss with @chefsalim @dmccown and Phil Prasek. For now i'm going to add the needs discussion label to this and we'll revisit it next week when theyre all back!
Haha. You know, I was having a case of Deja Vu when writing this post, but I couldn't find anything in the docs mentioning this functionality so I figured I must be imagining things. Thanks confirming at least this doesn't mean I'm crazy...
;)
