Aparently in the makefiles there aren't the required instructions to translate makefile variables into the enviroment variables required by fetch(3) and fetch(1). >How-To-Repeat: Set HTTP_PROXY on /etc/make.conf, remembering to unset http_proxy and HTTP_PROXY shell enviroment variables (if set) because they have precedence. If you then try to make any port that lacks the distfiles, the fetch command issued will not use the HTTP_PROXY you defined in /etc/make.conf >Fix: Work-around: You must set HTTP_PROXY as an environment variable before you try to make the ports. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: to fetch ports To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
