Nasty one. You made a small typo:
| Code: | | FETCHCOMMAND_TORPAGE="/usr/sbin/torpage_fetch \#{URI} \${DISTDIR}" |
should be
| Code: | | FETCHCOMMAND_TORPAGE="/usr/sbin/torpage_fetch \${URI} \${DISTDIR}" |
And now since it took me about a minute to spot that: There is a # before {URI} instead of a $.
Also, on the client if you want to force it to use torpage you can set the FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND to equal /bin/false:
| Code: | FETCHCOMMAND="/bin/false"
RESUMECOMMAND="/bin/false" |
Note that once torpage has downloaded a file it still needs to be transfered from the server to the client - I do this using vsftpd on the server and wget on the client just like portage would normally do.

Ok, I'm confused as to what I need to do... I didn't realize that I had to setup a FTP server. Are there instructions on how to setup vsftpd for this purpose or can you explain that to me? As of right now, here's what I'm getting when I try to emerge something:
| Code: |
linuxclient distfiles # emerge lftp
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-ftp/lftp-3.0.13 to /
>>> Downloading torpage://192.168.1.4/distfiles/lftp-3.0.13.tar.bz2
Torpage is initiating fetch for lftp-3.0.13.tar.bz2 (net-ftp/lftp-3.0.13)
This is torpage on copenhagen (protocol level 0.2)
Locking for lftp-3.0.13.tar.bz2.
Obtained lock, proceeding to download

I'm guessing that I'm getting this problem due to the fact I have no FTP server setup. If you could help me setup vsftpd for this purpose, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks! |

Ok, I installed vsftpd, and I set the home directory of the user ftp to /usr/portage/distfiles (just took a guess, found out that must be incorrect). Now, when I do an emerge, here is what I get:
| Code: | linuxclient distfiles # emerge lftp
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) net-ftp/lftp-3.0.13 to /
>>> Resuming download...
>>> Downloading torpage://192.168.1.4/distfiles/lftp-3.0.13.tar.bz2

As you can see, its trying to change directories. I have not made changes to any other configuration files that I've posted before. Can you tell me what I need to change in order to make this work? I'm so close I can feel it!!!
Thanks! |

Local network right? You can also use NFS.
I've changed my DISTDIR on my "server" to /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles, and then set up vsftp to use /home/ftp as the ftp root for anonymous connections, my vsftpd.conf file looks as follows:
| Code: | anon_mkdir_write_enable=NO
anon_other_write_enable=NO
anon_upload_enable=NO
anonymous_enable=YES
check_shell=YES
chmod_enable=NO
chown_uploads=NO
chroot_local_user=YES
dirlist_enable=YES
download_enable=YES
force_dot_files=NO
guest_enable=YES
guest_username=nobody
hide_ids=YES
listen=YES
local_enable=NO
passwd_chroot_enable=YES
session_support=NO
syslog_enable=YES
write_enable=NO
max_per_ip=5
anon_root=/home/ftp
ftpd_banner="This is my banner, live with it."
background=YES |
On the client, my /etc/portage/mirrors file simply contains:
| Code: | | local torpage://pug.lan/gentoo |

Yes, this is a local network. However, I do not wish to use NFS. One day I might want to make this server public.
Can I not leave the DISTDIR on the server to /usr/portage/distfiles? Right now, I'm just using the example vsftpd.conf file that I copied to vsftpd.conf. And here is what my /etc/portage/mirrors file contains:
| Code: |
local torpage://192.168.1.4
|
So, with all this in mind, can you tell me what I need to change in order to get this setup to work?
Thanks! |

Yes you could, if you set your ftp root directory to /usr/portage it should work. Alternatively, you can use "mount --bin /usr/portage/distfiles /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles" or something similar to make the distfiles available inside your ftp root. No, symlinks does not work.

When I set the ftp home directory back to /home/ftp and I create /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles and mount it as you suggested, it works! Now, the only question I have is if I need to restart the server for any reason, how do I get "mount --bin /usr/portage/distfiles /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles" to run on startup?
Thanks! |

In /etc/fstab:
| Code: | | /usr/portage/distfiles /home/ftp/gentoo/distfiles none bind 0 0 |
