Details"abs" uses cvsup which is not proxy aware. From the cvsup man page: "Simply run cvsup under the runsocks command, and add @M3novm to the end of the cvsup command line."
However, because runsocks uses LD_PRELOAD to override the system network functions and abs is statically linked under Arch, this will not work. In fact it seems there is no way to use "abs" from behind a proxy at all given this limitation. Some possible solutions are to dynamically link cvsup (which may or may not be feasible given that it is seemingly written in Modula2?!?!) or to use an alternative means of synchronising the ABS tree that is proxy aware (eg. rsync, wget, etc.). Providing a daily tarball of the various trees might be a last resort possibility. |
This task depends upon
# rsync -av --delete rsync.archlinux.org::abs /var/abs
Closing for now, though.
