* You are currently using a Subversion Portage tree that uses * the HTTP protocol. This protocol is scheduled for removal. * If you need HTTP because of a firewall, please file a bug. * See: * http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel.announce/98 * You need to switch your SVN checkout from HTTP to the SVN * protocol. To do this, cd to * /home/jolexa/portage/solaris-10-x86/usr/portage * and execute the following command * svn switch --relocate \ * http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay \ * svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay * Developers can switch to https instead. * Upgrading Portage is aborted now, as it is very important * that you switch now. Try emerging again after your switched * your SVN checkout. % svn switch --relocate http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay svn://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/trunk/prefix-overlay svn: Can't connect to host 'overlays.gentoo.org': Connection refused What should users do if they cannot connect to overlays.g.o as requested?
As a workaround, set PREFIX_PORTAGE_DONT_CHECK_MY_REPO to some value (in your etc/make.conf), and hope together with me that infra will retain http access to overlays.

That's unfortunate, please feel free to use this bug as a meta-bug if anyone else complains. I would hate to see http access shut off..That would be a huge dis-service to the project based on the (known)user base using prefix. =/
This bug is going to be a meta bug, and used as "backup" in case infra is unwilling to retain http access. However at the current state its way too early to assume they are.
+1 for http{,s}, we have a firewall here too. Another mail to -dev didn't make it through for unknown reason.

i would need http too!
I need the http protocol too, to use the prefix overlay behind a http proxy.
think this is ok now
