I don't really understand, why pacman and abs / cvsup can't make usage of a proxy. While I can handle pacman in adding wget configurations, I can't do with abs. Furthermore, abs / cvsup can't adress the servers via http ports, so I would have to open the firewall on port 5999.

Was it possible to have a main proxy configuration in rc.conf, so all archlinux package services like abs and pacman could use it?
Was it further possible to have an option to use abs in 'firewalled environments' with http ports, like 8080?

Thanks, with kind regards.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  pacman3 supports both http and ftp proxies. cvsup cannot support proxies at all.

AFAIK pacman 3 supports HTTP proxies, but this FR is still valid for abs.

BTW, it would be nice to have the possibility to use csup instead of cvsup in abs.

I read the cvsup manpage, it only mentions SOCKS proxies. There is no way to make it work with an ordinary HTTP proxy.

Does csup support HTTP proxies?
Comment by Jens Adam (byte) - Monday, 18 December 2006, 15:29 GMT
No, as it is just a (not even complete) rewrite of cvsup. The protocol is unique -- no proxies.
Comment by Roman Kyrylych (Romashka) - Monday, 18 December 2006, 15:38 GMT
then this FR can be closed, because 1 part is implemented in pacman 3 while another is not possible.
