I forgot CC to the mailist, sorry to all!
I have just added the "reply all" button to the toolbar of my thunderbird.
As per your advise, here is what I am going to do, at least for this
week and to be able to update my new -current system.
I have already rebuilt the kernel, running OK, I have set up already
some tweakings as per the page current.html, and now I have to update
all my installed packages and ports.
Later I will try to build xenocara and setup my radeonhd ATI videocard,
as it seem that this new xenocara supports it...
Well my fetch-via-wget.sh brand new script is ready as per your tip:
-----
#!/bin/sh
dsocks-torify.sh wget -O - $3
-----
Placed in my Local_scripts folder.
Given executable permission for root only
Now what?:
edit /root/.profile and add
FETCH_CMD="path-to-the-script"
(for my next reboot-or how to relod this .profile without rebooting?)
As I am not yet sure what .profile is the one that works, I am currently
creating the same .profile file in /, in /root and in /home/username,
just in case.(?)
open my konsole (ksh)
$su
blabla
#export FETCH_CMD="path-to-the-script"
(or reboot to load the new .profile)(?)
#pkg_add -F alwaysupdate,update,updatedepends -u -v -i
..
and now wait and see what happens and if it can get the ftp distfiles,
that it's my problem.
(ftp honors OKAY my HTTP_PROXY environment for http fetchs and goes okay
throught the privoxy+tor socks4a/5 exit proxy server to the world, the
problem is how to socksify ftp for ftp files)
I will tell you later or tomorrow.
Thanks Nick!
