Bug 3254 – tsocks-1.8beta4 Ebuild (new package)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bardur Arantsson 2002-05-31 03:47:24 UTC]

I've created an ebuild for the tsocks transparent SOCKS proxy library  
(see http://tsocks.sourceforge.net for more information).  
   
Nothing spectacular, but one note: The library is installed into /lib.  
This is *intentional*, see the DOCS for more info.  
 
Example configs are installed into /usr/share/doc/tsocks-<ver>/examples, 
and the config file path is set to /etc/socks/tsocks.conf. 
 
A tarball containing the ebuild and a digest file is attached.

Init script for tsocks

Please find the attatched tsocksify script. It adds the libtsocks.so library to
/etc/ld.so.preload to "wrap" all new starting processes with tsocks, enabling
their internet requests to be pushed through the specified socks proxy.
