Hi. I'm using OpenSolaris 2008.11 rc1b on x86. I tried downloading a large package (like sunstudioexpress), but this always fails:
--($ ~/Desktop)-- sudo pkg install sunstudioexpress DOWNLOAD PKGS FILES XFER (MB) sunstudioexpress 0/10 307/8840 8.17/241.60 pkg: Maximum (4) network retries exceeded during download. Details follow: 1: Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' timed out: timed out. 2: Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' timed out: timed out. 3: Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' timed out: timed out. 4: Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' timed out: timed out. I suppose it times out, because of our network - I think we're using a transparent virus scanning proxy, which first downloads everything and then sends on the stuff to the final client. Because of that, downloading large stuff first doesn't (seem to) do anything at all. Then, after a while, the downloaded content is send with "LAN speed" to the client (my PC in this case). And I think that this setup is causing problems for pkg - it notices that "nothing" happens (as far as the client is concerned) for too long and because of this, it errors out. Other (smaller) packages download just fine using pkg. Is there a way to make pkg wait longer? (Note: I'm aware that I could download the Sun Studio Express tar ball and be done, but let's just assume that such an option wouldn't exist *G* And even though, using/installling the tar ball would be outside of the package management, and that's not good.)
