Portage uses wget by default, and wget respects $http_proxy. According to /etc/make.conf.example # Fetching files # ============== # # If you need to set a proxy for wget or lukemftp, add the appropriate "export # ftp_proxy=<proxy>" and "export http_proxy=<proxy>" lines to /etc/profile if # all users on your system should use them. -- Neil Bothwick I am logged in, therefore I am.
