--Sig_E9K3BA.q6Q2WR0W4Tp/cqwy Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm in the process of "porting" trans-proxy-tor and dns-proxy-tor. dns-proxy-tor already works out of the box and I have a patch to get trans-proxy-tor working as well, however I'd like to get your opinion on some port system specific problems. 1) trans-proxy-tor requires some perl header files. Does the port system have a special way to provide them or do I have to write a script? I couldn't find any information in the Porter's Handbook's Perl chapter, therefore I fear the latter. Those perl header files are created by running some of FreeBSD's header files through h2ph(1) which means FreeBSD's sources are required or /usr/include must be complete. Is there an easy way to specify which header files have to be available? 2) The master site is http://p56soo2ibjkx23xo.onion/ and it's only accessible through Tor. If Privoxy and Tor are running and configured, one could set HTTP_PROXY and fetching should work. However I guess this would create problems on the build servers, as they probably don't run Tor and Privoxy. Additionally FETCH_DEPENDS would only make sure that Privoxy and Tor are installed, not that they are configured to work together. I could mirror the tarball on the web and use it as a second master site. Would this be an acceptable solution, or would it still lead to problems on the build servers when the first master site appears to be constantly unreachable? A third solution would be to make the port interactive and have the user fetch the sources herself or confirm that Tor and Privoxy are configured as needed. Which way should I go here? 3) trans-proxy-tor and dns-proxy-tor come in one package, but dns-proxy-tor can be used without trans-proxy-tor. Do you agree that it makes sense to create two separate port and use dns-proxy-tor a dependency for trans-proxy-tor?
