* Terrence Vergauwen <terrence.vergauwen@coo.vlaanderen.be> | | I have recently installed freebsd 4.1 RELEASE on my desktop at work. | The box is behind a proxy server which proxies http & ftp. | | How can i configure my ports tree (/usr/ports/...) to automatically | fetch files trough the proxy server ? | I get connect timeouts when i try to make stuff in the ports tree now... | | I searched the docs (FAQ's & Handbook), but cannot find anything about | proxies & ports tree's... ports uses fetch(1) to fetch the files, and fetch(1) uses libfetch. The man page for fetch(3) says that it uses the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and FTP_PROXY if present. Then, searching in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk reveals that ports can use a FETCH_ENV variable to specify the environment for fetch(1) used in ports. So, you could stick something like this into /etc/make.conf: FETCH_ENV?= HTTP_PROXY=bla.bla:1234 FTP_PROXY=foo.bar:4321 Hope that helps. -- Øyvind Møll oyvindmo@initio.no http://www.initio.no/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
