I'm having trouble getting the package system initialized on 0.5-rc0. I am on a Mac and behind a proxy (with http_proxy and https_proxy set appropriately). When I do Pkg.init(), I get
julia> Pkg.init() INFO: Initializing package repository /homedir/.julia/v0.5 INFO: Cloning METADATA from https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl ERROR: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:OS, Failed to connect to github.com: Operation timed out) in macro expansion at ./libgit2/error.jl:98 [inlined] in clone(::String, ::String, ::Base.LibGit2.CloneOptions) at ./libgit2/ repository.jl:191 in #clone#105(::String, ::Bool, ::Ptr{Void}, ::Nullable{Base.LibGit2.AbstractPayload}, ::Function, ::String, ::String) at ./libgit2/libgit2.jl:308 in (::Base.LibGit2.#kw##clone)(::Array{Any,1}, ::Base.LibGit2.#clone, ::String, ::String) at ./<missing>:0 in (::Base.Pkg.Dir.##4#6{String,String})() at ./pkg/dir.jl:49 in cd(::Base.Pkg.Dir.##4#6{String,String}, ::String) at ./file.jl:59 in init(::String, ::String) at ./pkg/dir.jl:47 in init() at ./pkg/pkg.jl:70 Running git clone https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl from the command line succeeds, and the package system works fine for me on julia 0.4. There has been some discussion of this issue for 0.5 (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/14167 and the issues referenced therein), but as far as I can tell the workaround is to modify some julia build settings and rebuild. Is there a workaround where the prebuilt binaries can be used? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dan
