|
|
I'm behind a firewall that allows ftp and http connections, but the rsync ports are blocked. Is there a way to do an emerge sync without rsync?
Thanks,

Or you can try to setup the proxy as outlined in the build document in the networking section.
Code: | Proxy Configuration
If you are behind a proxy, it is necessary to configure your proxy before you continue. We will export some variables to set up the proxy accordingly.
Code listing 5.6
# export http_proxy="machine.company.com:1234"
# export ftp_proxy="$http_proxy"
# export RSYNC_PROXY="$http_proxy" |
Let me know if that works. It looks like it should, but often times things don't behave how we would like them to!

Unfortunately I don't have a proxy either, just the firewall. Downloaded the portage file with wget and trying from there.
Thanks!

emerge gentoolkit. it provides a handy program called emerge-webrsync... it downloads the latest snapshot over http so you can get past that nasty firewall.. i've used it many a time from work. _________________ System: Thinkpad T30, P4-m 1.8GHz, 1024MB RAM

the one problem with that is that I need to be able to get gentoolkit via rsync first right? As is I just downloaded the portage tree manually and I'm well on my way into the bootstrap.
I figured I'll stick around the forum and help out with general linux questions since I'm relatively familiar with linux (5 years experiance as a linux sysadmin for ISP's =)

emerging a program downloads the source via http usually. Set up the http proxy as per the previous post, then you should be able to actually emerge a package. it's only the "emerge sync" that uses the rsync port. So you should be able to emerge gentoolkit, then do an emerge-webrsync which will only deal with updating your portage tree. _________________ System: Thinkpad T30, P4-m 1.8GHz, 1024MB RAM
