[Nix-dev] Impure environment variables.

[Jeevakan Suresh]

Hi guys - I've been trying to get nix to work behind a proxy and I've
ran into a few snags. This is using nix-0.12
 
 
Basically, the following command fails with a 'curl: (7) couldn't
connect to host' error
 
nix-env -if /path/to/pkgs git
 
A bit of poking led me to build.cc in libstore. On line 1581 there is an
'if' block which is responsible for copying across impureEnvVars into
the builder environment if it is a fixed output derivation. The code
enters into this block - but the problem is drv.env["impureEnvVars"] is
empty.
 
At this point I'm lost. fetchurl has impureEnvVars set as expected - I'm
not sure where I need to look to fix this. Any pointers would be much
appreciated.
 
Cheers
Jeeva
