currently, repoproxy.py at proxy.phx.ovirt.org stops responding every few days, there is a script in crond that reboots it each time.
a better solution is needed.
one suggested solution was to adapt the code to use uWSGI: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/48330/(abandoned by now)
I don't see why we'd need uWSGI, seems to me an overkill when we can just use Apache and 'mod_wsgi'.
Also there was talk about getting the Python script out of the critical data-transfer path, look for the mail archives, we've discussed this quite a bit and there are links to existing solutions.
Actually, as we don't have anything else using apache in that machine, I'd say that the overkill is apache, not uwsgi.
But I agree that using the squid new option to specify a url script to transform it (that does not get rid of the script though, as someone might interpret from barak's comment, it just allows it to be a lot simpler).
I think its a duplicate, please close if we already track on another ticket.
