Re: Can't install; FTP blocked

Hi Laurent,

The files it grabs is dependent on different aspects of your system. I'm not 
sure off-hand what you need to set an FTP proxy (ftp_proxy environment 
variable?) but you can figure out the necessary files by digging through the 
script (if you feel comfortable when doing that).

When you run easy_install, it'll show the URL it's using to fetch the 
installer. You should be able to plop that into your browser and view the 
setup.py file.

I don't know that these files are available over

Can't install; FTP blocked

2012-01-20 Thread Laurent
Hi,

I'm trying to install ReviewBoard on a new server here (at work). We
must go through a proxy to access the outside, and direct FTP is
blocked.

I've been able to install most components by supplying an HTTP proxy
to various tools, but I've hit a wall with P4PythonInstaller.

>From looking at the code, it seems to connect via FTP to
ftp.perforce.com to grab some files. This is blocked in our network,
but could be possible through the HTTP proxy.

I believe there's two solutions, both of which I would like an answer
for:
- Which files are actually needed? I might manage to grab the files
from another computer and move them to the linux box hosting this, so
that the setup.py file doesn't try to download them.
- How to tell the script to use our proxy instead? Or maybe grab the
files from HTTP directly? I assume perforce publishes those on the
website too.

Thanks!
