Hi everybody,

I try to install gentoo behind a proxy. and when I try to execute mirrorselect or emerge sync, I get no answer. The links web browser works perfectly, after I set the proxy server on his configuration. How can I configure gentoo to use proxy for these applications (emerge and mirrorselect)?

Hi!

Your proxy needs to be able to use the CONNECT method on port 873 to support rsync (emerge sync).

To define the proxy execute the following commands:

Code: Select all

prompt# export RSYNC_PROXY="yourproxy:proxyport"
prompt# export http_proxy="http://yourproxy:proxyport/"
prompt# export ftp_proxy="http://yourproxy:proxyport/"

HTH

It doesn't go in any file, just use the export command.

By the way, I can't use proxy authentication with links, where do I specify username and password?
I specified them in export command, but I guess links doesn't handle export as I have to -http-proxy.

emerge-webrsync ?

i use stage 3, and portage use wget to fetch the distfiles
so just add proxy setting

Code: Select all

/etc/wget/wgetrc

putting them in the wgetrc doesnt work for me...neither does putting them into the make.conf

okay i type the export command and everything works...but i dont want to type it every single time i reboot my linux... maybe its just me but where does export put this information.... and i dont want to make an extra file for it....

I created a script for export but it doesn't seem to work.

export command didn't make links to authenticate to the proxy during installation process, I managed to download stage and portage in another way.

Now that the system is installed, I can use links to browse the internet without using export or configuring network in links

Does it use proxy settings of firefox?
