Description
The template:
/var/lib/layman/calculate/profiles/templates/3.3/3_ac_install_live/1-merge/net-misc/wget/wgetrc
- Calculate format=dovecot
passive_ftp = on
waitretry = 10
http_proxy = #os_install_proxy#
ftp_proxy = #os_install_proxy#
#?os_install_proxy!=#
use_proxy = on
#os_install_proxy#
which, if the original install didn't use a proxy, results in /etc/wgetrc having:
http_proxy =
ftp_proxy =
which overrides any setting of these variables in the environment.
Perhaps the template should be:- Calculate format=dovecot
passive_ftp = on
waitretry = 10
#?os_install_proxy!=#
use_proxy = on
http_proxy = #os_install_proxy#
ftp_proxy = #os_install_proxy#
#os_install_proxy#
This caused me a great deal of pain in trying to track down why wget invoked by emerge with a proxy set in the environment paid no attention to that proxy setting. I needed a proxy to work around a temporary network connectivity issue.

This seemed pretty straightforward to me. Is there some good reason why the override behavior needs to be forced?
