I don’t know in your university, but in mine I still cannot use version control system cause we have an HTTP proxy and only HTTP traffic is allowed.
I want my system to be ever up-to-date and sometime this means to use development software. Today, for example, I wanted to build KDE from SVN.
Usually set http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port into ~/.subversion/server was enough, but today with this method I got a nice “Permission denied“.
The alternative method is to setup an SVN tunneling through the proxy:
First, you need perl-libwww from [extra] repository and perl-net-proxy from AUR.
Open a terminal and launch:
$ connect-tunnel -P proxyhost:proxyport -T 10234:svnhost:svnport
Now, keep connect-tunnel running and checkout svn in this way:
$ svn co svn://localhost:10234/svntrunk
All should works. Good luck!
Bel tip, ultimamente ho proprio avuto a che fare con proxy!
Ma non potresti fare in modo di metterli in Italiano quelli che spuntano sul planet?
PS non che l’inglese sia limitativo eh, intendiamoci… ;-)
non prendertela ma non mi va di riscrivere le cose due volte :)
però forse dovrei togliermi dal planet e restare solo su quello internazionale
