I'd like to commit following patch to src/release/Makefile. Here's background: A user may want to build their own FreeBSD distribution. During the release build, pkg_add(1) runs within chroot sandbox to install mkisofs(8) iff MAKE_ISOS=YES. Imagine what's happen if the user is living behind the Internet firewall -- pkg_add(1) try to fetch the package from outside but it can't since firewall usually doesn't allow outer-to-inner connections. According to the pkg_add(1) manpage, FTP_PASSIVE_MODE environment variable enables passive ftp connections. You know there are many solutions about this issue. IIRC, it can be easily fixed with "passing FTP_PASSIVE_MODE variable to the chroot sandbox." Following patch was tested on FreeBSD/i386, and it should work on other archs since this is arch-independent code. If there's no problem around, I'll commit it later. Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita Index: Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/release/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.749 diff -u -r1.749 Makefile --- Makefile 4 Feb 2003 16:07:20 -0000 1.749 +++ Makefile 10 Feb 2003 11:19:41 -0000 @@ -430,6 +430,7 @@ DOMINIMALDOCPORTS \ EXTRA_SRC \ FIXCRYPTO \ + FTP_PASSIVE_MODE \ KERNELS \ KERNEL_FLAGS \ MAKE_ISOS \ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
