[gentoo-user] http-replicator fetching on the server

[Peter Kelly]

Holas,

I'm running http-replicator on a desktop (server).  The laptop asks the 
desktop for files correctly, and that works just fine.

The problem I'm seeing is on the desktop.  Every night I do 
# emerge world --update --deep --newuse --fetchonly
# /usr/bin/repcacheman

which gets all the files I'll need (into /usr/portage/distfiles), and then 
moves all the files to http-rep cache (/var/cache/http-replicator).  
The next time I run 
# emerge -autvDN world

portage looks in /usr/portage/distfiles  ($DISTDIR in make.conf), and, of 
course, doesn't see the files.  They've been moved 
to /var/cache/http-replicator.  Then portage grabs the files, without 
consulting http-replicator.
Now, like I said, everything works fine for external machines.  They 
immediately use port 8080.  It's just the desktop/http-rep server that 
doesn't use want to use the http-rep cache.

Here are a few pertinent lines from /etc/make.conf
http_proxy="http://crichton:8080"
RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 --passive-ftp \${URI} -O \ 
\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}"

# ping crichton
PING localhost (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Any idea what I have mis-configured?  

Thanks.

Peter
