[build2] error when trying to compile build2

[Phillip Shelton]

Hi,

I have not been able to work out the self-sighed certificate yet.
So instead I though I would go straight to a local install.  But because I ran the b-boot configure command expecting to be able to download the latest packages the config.bin.suffix was set to -stage.  Now I want to rerun the configure step and set the config.bin.suffix to the null string.  How should I go about that? Because at the moment it seems stuck as -stage

More precisely, it seems your network connection is forwarded through urldefense.com. I am not entirely sure how this https://urldefense.com/... URL ended up in the above command
line: did you type it yourself or did you type the original (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pkg.cppget.org/1/alpha/repositories.manifest__;!!PwxmruxY!JnuHIz9Zlt10FsymrMZqnyjX-wBmyMAbtx-B2t_T6Bk9XCy9LqseTAs4TH5HeADJ-F0YsXo$ ) and it was rewritten by your email server when you copied it into the email reply?

In any case, it's likely a policy of your organization to send everything through urldefense so it's unlike you will be able to get rid of it. If you can get the self-signed certificate in question, you can try to pass it to curl and see if it helps, for example:

> curl -Ov --cacert urldefense.cert 
> https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pkg.cppget.org/1/alpha/repositorie
> s.manifest__;!!PwxmruxY!JnuHIz9Zlt10FsymrMZqnyjX-wBmyMAbtx-B2t_T6Bk9XC
> y9LqseTAs4TH5HeADJ-F0YsXo$

If you manage to make it work, then you can make bpkg pass the same with --fetch-option, for example:

> bpkg-stage fetch --fetch-option=--cacert --fetch-option=urldefese.cert

Yes, that doesn't look right, will investigate, thanks.
