>Environment:
This is stock 3.1-RELEASE, just installed. I installed everything.
No major customizations yet. This machine is behind a twisted
organizational firewall with `cute' DNS organization and restricted
connectivity.
>Description:
I have set ftp_proxy and http_proxy in the environment (using
IP numbers). If I manually fetch some URL, such as
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/lynx2.8.1rel.1.tar.gz,
everything works fine, file gets fetched and all. However, if
I try to run `make' in /usr/ports/www/lynx without the distfile
in /usr/ports/distfiles, I get output similar to this (using
a different port, because Lynx is now building):
>> communicator-v408-export.x86-unknown-linux1.2.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.08/english/unix/supported/linux12/base_install/.
fetch: ftp.netscape.com: Unknown host
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/ftp.netscape.com/pub/communicator/4.08/english/unix/supported/linux12/base_install/.
fetch: sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk: No address associated with name
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles//.
fetch: ftp.freebsd.org: No address associated with name
>> Couldn't fetch it - please try to retrieve this
>> port manually into /usr/ports/distfiles/ and try again.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
[More five `Stops.']
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to build any port without local distfile and without
proper Internet connectivity (but with proxies set up).
>Fix:
What was the reason to use `fetch' rather than `ftp' as
FETCH_CMD in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk? Surely I can set
FETCH_CMD to ftp in the environment or simply change that
file, but how many users do you expect to be able to figure
it out? Or, at least don't set FETCH_CMD to `fetch' if
ftp_proxy or http_proxy is defined in the environment!
(The solution that should make everyone happy.)
