Hi All,
I am using openembedded tools on a project, but it uses cvs to download some files.
Our company has a tight http only proxy, but I have managed to tunnel wget and git over it, but not cvs.
Is there a good way to do this? It needs to be transparent to openembedded which has cvs access in lot's of scripts which I don't want to touch.
I notice a cvs-feature program in AUR that states that is has proxy support, but I can't find any documentation, does anyone know if it will allow what I want?
Cheers,
Bernie

Not a solution for you per se, but would you be able to share how you managed to tunnel wget, redacting your proxy server and port of course?
I am in a similar situation and would like to access my home computer through my work machine.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

No problem. wget was easy as it takes notice of the environment variable http_proxy, ftp_proxy, https_proxy etc, so if they are set to your proxy and port like this:
export http_proxy=http://your_proxy:3128/ ..... place this in your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc file, or without the "export" in the file ~/.wgetrc
.. then re-source your shell with "source ~/.profile"
Hope this helps.
NB: You should include "all caps" versions of those variables too, as some programs use the caps versions ..

hmm I already have the all caps version in my bashrc..but I will try putting it in lower case as well and see if that works. Thanks again.
