Hello John,
I'm not using m3socks, I use the standard socks5 from ports (current version
is socks5-1.0.8). To use it (the runsocks program) with cvsup one has to
build cvsup with dynamic linking (by building port net/cvsup), the precompiled
package from CD-ROM and the one from net/cvsup-bin port will not work.
For example I changed in /usr/local/etc/cvsup/update.sh (contained in
net/cvsup-mirror port):
< cvsup -1gL 1 -c ${colldir} -h ${host} supfile
---
> runsocks cvsup -P m -1gL 1 -c ${colldir} -h ${host} supfile
As stated before, this works since approx. one year without any problems.
As I remember, I used m3socks for a short time, but when I noticed that
runsocks also worked, I changed to that.
Regards
