Setting as HTTP_PROXY is completely ignored by wget and the other fetchcommands ( prozilla and lukemftp are essentially ftp applications and they don't tend to like proxies anyway ). I see very little reason to leave the variable as HTTP_PROXY when it should be defined like so=20 http_proxy=3D"proxy.domain.tld:3128"=20 A band-aid would be to set the following in either make.conf, make.globals or the like http_proxy=3D"${HTTP_PROXY}" or have portage interpret HTTP_PROXY and pass = it to the environment in both ways (which seems really dumb to me) This is probably also a good FAQ question. I'll post to the forums about it as well. --=20 Ben Lutgens | http://people.sistina.com/~blutgens/=09 System Administrator | http://www.sistina.com/ Sistina Software Inc. |=20 "I got a wife and kids too but you don't see me out here stealing Imperial Droids now do ya?" --EY/WZ/HvNxOox07X Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE88oiVCpAw0ZoN3FkRApjeAJ9BPs3PD6SHmIA+uH7+i0CfviuHLgCgxPHI Ioh+t7W6B82yKSvW54eP330= =h7If -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EY/WZ/HvNxOox07X--
