[Nix-dev] [nix-dev] fetchsvn fails to go via proxy

[Sergey Mironov]

Looks like I've found the key to the problem. Fetchsvn expression is
not able to parse my $http_proxy var correctly. It extracts only
host/port from it, while in my case username and password are also
encoded. The correct implementation in my case should form the 4
fields in the .subversion/servers file generated:

http-proxy-host = proxy.avp.ru
http-proxy-port = 3128
http-proxy-username=Mironov_S
http-proxy-password=Password

The conclusion is: fetchsvn has to be updated in order to handle more
common cases

Sergey
