I have export CVS_PROXY=http://xxx:911 It works with cvs-1.11.22-2.FC5 in FC5. Strace shows onnect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(911), sin_addr=inet_addr("xxx")}, 16) = 0 But cvs-1.11.22-4 tries connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2401), sin_addr=inet_addr("xxx")}, 16) = 0 It ignores port 911 in CVS_PROXY.
Could you please write a cvs command line you are using for straces? The problem is likely caused by the newly added IPv6 patch.
I used # strace cvs -z 3 -d :pserver:anonymous.redhat.com:/cvs/dist co make
Fixed in rawhide. FC5 update is comming soon.
cvs-1.11.22-6.fc6 has been pushed for fc6, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
cvs-1.11.22-6.fc5 has been pushed for fc5, which should resolve this issue. If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
cvs-1.11.22-4 in RHEL5 beta has the same issue.
I have verified that both cvs-1.11.22-6.fc6 and cvs-1.11.22-6.fc5 work correctly with CVS_PROXY.
Thanks!
