Not for rsync, as far as I know. A user sent us a patch a while back that worked for them, but which still needs a little work to integrate into the fink source: ========================================================= From: TANAKA Atushi <email address redacted> To: [email protected] Hi I'm sending a reply to a mail about using cvs for fink behind a firewall using a http proxy.

I confirmed that the way above actually works in our macs with Snow Leopard and Leopard, if we put several quotations("), e.g., cvs - - -d":pserver;proxy=proxy.example.com;proxyport=8080:anonymous@(soory I forgot the strings here)/cvsroot/fink" login To realize it, I hardcoded this at perlmod/Fink/SelfUpdate/CVS.pm in fink-0.29.10: --- CVS.pm.orig 2010-02-03 11:57:14.000000000 +0900 +++ CVS.pm 2010-02-03 12:40:37.000000000 +0900 @@ -202,7 +202,7 @@ $cmd = "cvs ${verbosity} -z3 -d$cvsrepository"; } else { - $cmd = "cvs -d:pserver:anonymo...@$cvsrepository login"; + $cmd = "cvs - - - -d\":pserver;proxy=proxy.example.com;proxyport=8080:anonymo...@$cvsrepository\" login"; if ($username ne "root") { $cmd = "/usr/bin/su $username -c '$cmd'"; } @@ -210,7 +210,7 @@ die "Logging into the CVS server for anonymous read-only access failed.\n"; } else { - $cmd = "cvs ${verbosity} -z3 -d:pserver:anonymo...@$cvsrepository"; + $cmd = "cvs ${verbosity} -z3 - - - -d\":pserver;proxy=proxy.example.com;proxyport=8080:anonymo...@$cvsrepository\""; } } } else { I know hardcoding the proxy configulation is stupid, but it works for me. By the way, the specification of proxy in cvs command line has a side effect that the postinst of fink-mirror fails.
