[gentoo-user] emerge --sync behind a firewall

[Marko Kocić]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use "emerge --sync" behind a company firewall.
I don't have a direct internet connection, only through http and socks proxies.

Is there a way to configure emerge so that it can use either one of them.

Thanks,
Marko

maybe you should try emerge-webrsync... :/
and in the make.conf add:
http_proxy=host:port

I just got answer on IRC #gentoo channel.

I had to install tsocks package, which let me run through socks proxy
any program.
Setting http_proxy and RSYNC_PROXY didn't do the trick.

'net-misc/proxychains' is better than tsocks as it can force connections
through socks proxy as well as http proxy (tsocks can not do http
proxy).

Other option is to use emerge-webrsync, which obeys $http_proxy env
variable.
