Description Przemysław Borkowski 2014-04-30 07:59:23 UTC

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.

Comment 2 Przemysław Borkowski 2014-05-01 16:01:47 UTC

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.
