heh, yeah. I think it was supposed to be
"useNoSSLServerURLForPackages".
But then, I've never been one for picking good names for things.
This is a recipe for confusion. Can we get future versions of the
option renamed to "useSSLForPackages"? (I would make it off by default,
too, since many packages are rather large and some of us still pay a lot
for bandwidth.)
Possibly.
As mentioned, it was origianally added to up2date to allow
people to setup squid caches (with a suitable tweaked squid config to
cache big "objects"...)
