FWIW, I just tried this command ^ locally, and it runs fine. (hg version 2.0.2)

(It's been ~90min since the failure in comment 0, though, so this may or may not be useful information.)

It seems that this was a transient issue that IT is investigating.
It happened twice today.

Once somewhere between 10:52 & 10:54.
And another time from 11:31 to 11:33.

Investigation is still happening on the IT bug but for now we can close this one.

Its happening for me again right now, I got a new development machine and wanted to set this up, i've been facing issues. I am running on a network proxy and my .hrgc file looks like this

[http_proxy]
        host = 172.30.0.16:3128
[https_proxy]
        host = 172.30.0.16:3128
~                                  

Time tried : 7th September 2014 , 1:00 PM IST

$ hg clone https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central
abort: error: nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Hi ShellHacker,
Which version of hg are you running?
Could you please run it with more verbosity?
Does it happen every single time you try?

Comment 7

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

I'm re-closing this bug from 2012. The issue :ShellHacker describes seems to be an hg/proxy mishap with regard to what is resolving his DNS query.

if Armen is willing to help by all means, but this bug should not be open.

Comment 8

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I have no real expertise in the area. I was hoping to gather more info before determining who to call or if to open a new bug.

Thanks Callek!

ShellHacker, it seems that you have a recent version of Mercurial.
Could you look to see what could be wrong with your proxy setup?
As far as I can tell, I don't think there's nothing that can be done from our side and I don't have enough hg skills to help you debug it. Sorry!
