I have a box with only socks proxy to outer world. When I need to emerge packages like development versions sometimes portage uses git to fetch updates. I have correctly set global configuration for git and when I try to manually fetch things from git it works perfectly. But when I try to emerge ie metasploit-9999 git tries to fetch directly not using socks.
Looks like bug #406639 but I can't tell if anything changed in two years time.
Yep it looks similar, but for now I can use git through proxy, but when I run it through command line. I have configured proxy in git via: git config --global http.proxy 'socks://127.0.0.1:8080/' Works realy nice, but when I try to run emerge -9999 package it looks like it doesn't honour global git settings at all.
Would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this.
