Just to expand on this a bit, the /etc/make.conf file probably needs to |
| 25 |
define the rsync proxy too, although you can use websync. For all my |
| 26 |
proxy work I use Squid. To this end I use the following lines in the |
| 27 |
named files: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/etc/make.conf |
| 30 |
http_proxy="http://localhost:8080" |
| 31 |
ftp_proxy="http://localhost:8080" |
| 32 |
RSYNC_PROXY="localhost:8080" |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
/etc/wget/wgetrc |
| 35 |
http_proxy = http://localhost:8080/ |
| 36 |
ftp_proxy = http://localhost:8080/ |
| 37 |
no_proxy = .local |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
/etc/squid/squid.conf |
| 40 |
acl SSL_ports port 443 563 873 # 873 for rsync |
| 41 |
acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Note that the above are just extracts from the configuration files, not |
| 44 |
the complete things. Note also that I allow my Gentoo boxes to query |
| 45 |
each other's /usr/portage/distfiles before downloading from a mirror, |
| 46 |
and my internal top-level domain name is .local; as a result, wget is |
| 47 |
told to bypass the proxy on such connections. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Moreover, the above were taken from the machine that runs Squid, which |
| 50 |
is why all the proxy connections use localhost. On other machines, the |
| 51 |
domain name of the proxy server is memphis.local. |
