I also need $http_proxy on one box, but I don't need that. I just configured sudo accordingly. Here are the relevant bits from /etc/sudoers : %wheel ALL=(ALL) SETENV: ALL The only important part is SETENV: here, which you need to add to the line corresponding to your user. (in my case, the user belongs to wheel group :P). And then this : Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy" There might be other (better?) ways to deal with this, so if anyone knows alternative, I am interested to. If you only want to keep the environment when using pacman, it might be possible to do just that in the sudo config file as well. I never did it but I assume it is possible since I see you can specify commands in the config. Anyway, I think it would be a better way to deal with this rather than having to add this -E argument. _______________________________________________ pacman-dev mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/pacman-dev
