1 Yah, this rsync issue seems like it may be a pain. With Debian I could
2 easily apt-get update using the proxy. However, when I set the proxy in
3 make.globals or using the env rsync_proxy it still does not work. If I
4 strace it I get:

6 Here is proof that I can get out via port 80 from the shell

43 You can see the wait.

45 my dns cannot resolve cvs.gentoo.org

47 Here is what I added to /etc/hosts to combat that:

52 So, providing the rsync actually goes out on 80, I should be ok.

54 Thanks for any help,

72
73 Oh, bother. Yeah, not having been able to run "emerge rsync"
74 would be a problem. I'm sure there's a work-around, but the
75 best approach is going to be to fix your firewall difficulties.
76 Maintaining a Gentoo Linux system really requires being able to
77 update /usr/portage on demand.
78
79 I don't really have a good short-term solution for you, otherwise
80 We should probably have a weekly /usr/portage tarball at could
81 be downloaded, but we don't have that right now. I think that Achim
82 (our lead package developer) was planning to set up an anonymous
83 CVS server, but I don't think that's ready just yet either.
