How does one build Cassandra from behind a proxy? I just downloaded Cassandra source code and tried to build it locally -- all from behind a firewall.
Download ("svn checkout") succeeded with a proper configuration of [global] proxy settings in the "servers" file in .subversion directory. However, the build -- again from behind the proxy -- fails when it tries to download ivy-2.1.0.jar. It is not clear from this fragment of build.xml: <target name="ivy-download" unless="ivy.jar.exists"> <echo>Downloading Ivy...</echo> <mkdir dir="${build.dir}" /> <get src="${ivy.url}/${ivy.version}/ivy-${ivy.version}.jar" dest="${build.dir}/ivy-${ivy.version}.jar" usetimestamp="true" /> </target> whether a http proxy server / port number / username / password can be set in the build script configuration, some place, for the purpose\ of usage when attempting the download target. (I cannot imagine such a facility not be available.) If there's no such configuration, I'm assuming I can download the ivy-2.1.0jar "by hand" and put it in the build director, and set "ivy.jar.exists" to true. Thanks, - m.
