 |
|
I'm using a stage 1 boot cd to build gentoo on a PIII computer. When I try to do 'emerge rsync', it fails with the following error message:
rsync: getaddrinfo: cvs.gentoo.org 873: name or service not known.
Now, I'm behind a very restrictive firewall and can only use http and ftp -- port 873 is blocked. I've set http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables for wget, but that doesn't help the issue above.
Is there a way to work around this using wget? (and still using a stage 1 boot cd)
Thanks.

Damn -- I RTFM in the first place, but didn't see this until the second time around:

If you're behind a firewall that doesn't permit rsync traffic, then you can instead download the daily /usr/portage snapshot from http://cvs.gentoo.org/snapshots. Just unpack the tarball (using tar xvjf portage-foo.tbz2) in the /usr directory.

| All you have to do is export the RSYNC_PROXY variable and set it to be your proxy/firewall with the appropriate port. ie export RSYNC_PROXY=<server name/ip address:port number> |

That isn't going to work unless the rsync port is open on the client-side firewall in the first place. (or, unless the gentoo folks configure their rsync daemon to respond on port 80, which I doubt will or should happen.)
