pkgx distribution host endpoint override
Would be great if the distribution host endpoint https://dist.pkgx.dev can be override with env value. This would allow users behind corp firewall to reroute it via middleware such as gateway or Artifactory.
e.g. export XDG_DIST_URI=https://corp-endpoint/pkgx
This is a perfectly reasonable idea. Until it is implemented, it should be reasonably trivial for a corporate network to point its local network's dns record for dist.pkgx.dev to an IP of its liking (though they'll have to do some SSL tricks as well).
My guess is most of this logic is in libpkgx, without looking just at the moment. So, it should be fairly easy to fork that and build a pkgx client that uses the forked libpkgx.
yes, the url is hardcoded in libpkgx - src/hooks/useOffLicense.ts file.
function url(stowage: Stowage) {
return new URL(`https://dist.pkgx.dev/${key(stowage)}`)
}
