Hi Guys
I'm having some trouble getting nix to detect my HTTP proxy settings. It
seems to work as expected when using channels. So the below works.
$ nix-channel --add channel_name
http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/nix/channels-v3/nixpkgs-unstable
$ nix-channel --update
...
$ nix-env -i coreutils # this works as expected
However, if I checkout the packages via svn, my environment proxy
settings don't trickle through, so (after clearing out everything) this
breaks.
nix-env -if /scratch/nix-pkgs coreutils # this hangs.
>From poking into the code, it seems in build.cc drv.env["impureEnvVars"]
is empty (although the relevant config for fetchurl has this variable
defined). Any ideas on whats going on?
Cheers
Jeeva.
