Sabayon Git overlay using http [Solved]

[dgau]

Hi,

First post here after using Sabayon since 3.4 and now have 4 machines under either Gentoo or Sabayon (even an AA1) None of the machines run any MS OS, only under VM

I have a problem with adding the Sabayon overlay on our corporate LAN, the ports used by Git are not permitted. Under Gentoo, I have added various http overlays without any problems but I cannot find one suitable for this overlay.

I have only 22, 80 & 443 available, there are no proxies avaiable and all the ports that are open are packet analysed for incorrect protocols. Pretty much locked down except for SSH&Socks5 to a remote machine

I've spent the last day searching but to no avail, the closest I got was using http://git.sabayon.org/projects/overlay.git from http://gitweb.sabayon.org/?p=overlay.git;a=summary I'm assuming its down?


Any help would be great.

Thanks

http://git.sabayon.org/projects/overlay.git will work, the layman entry pulls the git:// url however.

Have you thought of making a local entropy server that clones from mirrors using http rsync ftp.
This way 1 download from mirrors and very fast update sync from local entropy server, all crontab actions.

Have a look at entropy.conf settings or using a proxy / opendns to to directly bypass the locked ports.
There should be a man or doc for entropy that explains this and separate sync from mirror action = rsync.

Thanks, Voodoo.

I'm only using portage so I can keep my systems maintained with the same scripts (2 x Gentoo & 2 x Sabayon / a full mix of x86 & amd64). The only difference between my boxes is the artwork/Sabayon overlay (or lack there of!)

Any news on a resolution?
