Hello, i tried to use layman (current stable version). The problem ist that i sit behind a proxy server which covers the http(s) protocol only. All other ports are closed.
In the config file of layman (/etc/layman/...) i entered the proxy server and the listening port. Then layman was able to get the list of overlays. But if i want to get an overlay (here: x11 overlay) it starts git to get it. After a while git aborts with a timeout. It seems that git does not take the proxy info layman has into account. Tried also to export the proxy: export http_proxy="<proxy-server>:<proxy-port>" or export http_proxy="http://<proxy-server>:<proxy-port>" before executing layman -a x11 but this didn't help. How to overcome the problem ? Does layman pass the proxy info to the executed sub-programs (i.e. cvs, subversion, git, ...) ? (it not that may be an enchancement) regards Petric
