I am stuck behind a proxy server that allows http or ftp-over-http traffic and am trying to bootstrap OpenPKG.
I was able to successfully download, build and install the bootstrap package, but now when it comes time to build openpkg-tools, I'm stuck. It seems that the "openpkg" tool is aware of the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables and makes use of them, but when it comes to an "rpm --rebuild" step, I get errors: % /data/openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/stable/2.20061018/SRC/CORE/make-3.81-2.20061018.src.rpm error: cannot open ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/stable/2.20061018/SRC/CORE/make-3.81-2.20061018.src.rpm: Operation not permitted warning: u 0x81dc228 ctrl 0x81e3458 nrefs != 0 (ftp.openpkg.org ftp) I think the problem is that rpm doesn't use the *_proxy environment variables. So I tried editing $prefix/lib/openpkg/macros to set %_ftpport and %_ftpproxy, but this is understood to behave like a "TIS Firewall", to which you can connect your FTP client and issue command like "open [EMAIL PROTECTED]". My proxy server doesn't support this mode of operation. Is a local mirror the only practical way to solve this? -- Caleb Epstein ______________________________________________________________________ OpenPKG http://openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
