Are you using putty on windows then?

Log in with putty, you will get a bash session. Become root, run emerge.


If this doesn't work, then post back with FULL error messages, the
process you followed and where it failed.

Thx for the Answer but* I think I asked the question wrong. I Use Putty to bypass a HTTP proxy who do not let emerge Work.
So i wan't to run portage in my pc, not in the remote one. But i wan't to sync passing the SSH tunnel who is configurated to listen at the port 8080 of my localhost.

It's not clear at all whether you have http access from your gentoo box.

If so, did you try emerge-webrsync?

Elyahou,

What EXACTLY is failing? You are not giving any information we can work
with, so please supply FULL information with ALL relevant details.

Does 'emerge --sync' fail? This has nothing to do with HTTP proxies as
it's an rsync session

Does 'emerge <some package>' fail, and if so, what is the error message?
This might well be a proxy, so can you see gentoo.org in a browser?

Do you also use http through it?


Regarding portage, it could be as easy as doing

# export http_proxy="name.of.your.proxy"

but without further info about your config (meaning: exact putty config,
and exact use you make of it, and from where), it's difficult to help.

Ok,

My Network have a Squid Proxy who allow only some ports like 80 443...

Putty is configurated to connect to a box i have in an other place, it allow to make a SSH Tunnel who create a socks proxy at localhost:8080. Putty listen to this port and send all the frames passing the 443 of the SQUID proxy to my exterior box. I wan't to configure Portage to use this SOCK proxy at localhost:8080

What other information can i give ?

Ok, so you should be able to use

# export http_proxy="proxyname or address"
# emerge-webrsync

To use the already existing proxy in your network. If you insist on using
your tunnel, read on.

So you're forwarding port 8080 on the putty (windows) box to port 1080 on
the remote box, where a SOCKS server is listening on that port, correct?

I'm not sure whether putty allows non-local connections to forwarded
ports by default, if this is not the case you'll need to enable that
option.

How do you do that?

"localhost", IIUC, is a windows box, and portage is running on another
(linux, on the same network) box. So, at a minimum, you'll need to
use "a.b.c.d:8080" as a SOCKS server, where a.b.c.s is the IP address of
the windows putty box.

Assuming you have a SOCKS server at "a.b.c.d:8080" (albeit through a
tunnel, but the apps don't know that), then you need to use some
socksifying utility for emerge, since (AFAIK) it does not support SOCKS
out of the box. So, something like

# socksify emerge --sync

should work (though I have not tested it). socksify is part of
net-proxy/dante. Of course, you need to specify the SOCKS proxy at
a.b.c.d port 8080 in the /etc/socks/socks.conf configuration file (I
don't remember the exact syntax to do that right now, but it should be
quite intuitive).
