Ego sync does not work properly

[albatro74]

Whenever I try to sync I get the following message

fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/funtoo/meta-repo/': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Connection timed out

I also suspect that my system is not getting updated since 2020 or so...

Any clue?

Hi.

 

It seems that this is not ego problem. May be some firewall or proxy? What

curl -v -X HEAD  https://github.com/funtoo/meta-repo

is show?

This is what it shows:

# curl -v -X HEAD  https://github.com/funtoo/meta-repo
Warning: Setting custom HTTP method to HEAD with -X/--request may not work the
Warning: way you want. Consider using -I/--head instead.

SOLVED!

For some reason I don't remember my hosts file had the following line

140.82.118.4 github.com wiki.github.com gist.github.com assets0.github.com assets1.github.com assets2.github.com assets3.github.com 

Removing the line solved completely the problem

Sounds like once upon a time you were trying to get updates while DNS wasn't working for some reason.

That was it, I suspect....
