Description Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-08-28 17:36:30 UTC
For compatibility with proxychains, emerge --sync rsync DNS lookup must occur in the rsync process, since proxychains allocates a process-local surrogate IP. This patch solves the problem:

Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2019-08-28 17:41:02 UTC
Example sync failure looks like this, since proxychains allocates a surrogate IP 224.0.0.1 that is valid in the python process and invalid in the child rsync process:

    rsync: proxychains compatibility (bug 693026)
    
    Use the original hostname if it resolves to a single IP, since DNS
    lookup must occur in the rsync process for compatibility with things
    like proxychains that allocate a surrogate IP which is only valid
    within the current process.
