Hi, I've seen the problem already but no solution. So I'll wrap it up.
I know it is not technically a bug of MacPorts.
I copy the listing below just for the record.
The problem shows up on my office computer. There is a firewall (proxy) in
place there. At home I get ports working beautifully. At the office, no
way, it is a lot of time I try.
Generally I get the apps I want by other methods; however, I'd like to use
MacPorts.
Because it is better than whatever else.
I tried to do whatever is possible in the system preferences to disable
the firewall. No way. There is only the firewall - no other applications
like PeerSomething.
It seems to me that there is no way to use rsync from behind a firewall.
It fails not only with ports - whatever otehr application uses rsync it
does not work.
cvs instead runs smooth. I believe that is because cvs relies on ssh while
rsync uses lower-level security and our proxy disables it .
No question of disabling the proxy - our security does not allow.
== Question: is there that you know any way to '''use macports without
rsync'''? ==
== or to set some rsync options so that it may run over a safe-looking
protocol like ssh, so the proxy won't kick in? ==
thanks for any suggestion.
