Changing the HTTP{,S} and FTP proxies used by guix-daemon is
inconvenient, especially when doing a GuixSD install, as reported by
Divan Santana <[email protected]> at:https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2017-01/msg00047.html We should add a service-specific action to do that, like: herd set-http-proxy guix-daemon http://example.org or, alternately, let guix-daemon (‘guix substitute’ and ‘guix perform-download’) honor client-provided proxy settings passed via ‘set-build-options’ or similar. Ludo’.
