DarwinPorts 1.2 no longer supports RSYNC_PROXY

[bzhou@…]

After selfupdate to 1.2, DarwinPorts can no longer rsync across the firewall.

$ sudo port -d selfupdate DEBUG: Rebuilding the darwinports base system if needed. Synchronizing from rsync://rsync.darwinports.org/dpupdate/dports rsync: failed to connect to rsync.darwinports.org: Operation timed out rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at /SourceCache/rsync/rsync-14/rsync/clientserver.c(93) DEBUG: Couldnt sync dports tree: sync failed doing rsync

while executing

"darwinports::selfupdate [array get global_options]" Error: /opt/local/bin/port: selfupdate failed: Couldnt sync dports tree: sync failed doing rsync

I also tried starting from scratch and it failed at the same stage. Rsync from the shell with RSYNC_PROXY set seems to work.

So RSYNC_PROXY is an environment variable?

DarwinPorts 1.2 now explicitly wipes the environment of variables it doesn't know.

If you really want RSYNC_PROXY to survive that attack, set the following in your /opt/local/etc/ ports.conf:

extra_env RSYNC_PROXY

Any variables in extra_env will not be wiped.

If you feel RSYNC_PROXY should be added the standard list of variables not to wipe, please file a bug report to that effect...
