Description niogic 2009-11-04 18:51:17 UTC
I need to connect using an http proxy and it does exist a repository that uses the http protocol. It is http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/svn/grub/trunk/grub2

So why to use svn:// that makes the ebuild fail when fetching if you are behind an http proxy?
At least check if $http_proxy is set and change the ESVN_REPO_URI consequently if you want to make something elegant.

svn:// is a lot more efficient than http:// and no one has complained

Problem solved. SVN died. And so did it's http official backup.
