All, the HTTP_PROXY variable we have in make.conf and friends isn't |
| 2 |
recognized by wget. Setting as HTTP_PROXY is completely ignored by wget and |
| 3 |
the other fetchcommands ( prozilla and lukemftp are essentially ftp |
| 4 |
applications and they don't tend to like proxies anyway ). I see very |
| 5 |
little reason to leave the variable as HTTP_PROXY when it should be defined |
| 6 |
like so |
| 7 |
http_proxy="proxy.domain.tld:3128" |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
A band-aid would be to set the following in either make.conf, make.globals |
| 10 |
or the like |
| 11 |
http_proxy="${HTTP_PROXY}" or have portage interpret HTTP_PROXY and pass it |
| 12 |
to the environment in both ways (which seems really dumb to me) |
| 13 |
|

This is probably also a good FAQ question. I'll post to the forums about it |
| 15 |
as well. |
