Hello.

I'm experiencing huge problems with pacman, since the ProxyServer option was removed.

- Updating / downloading using sudo does not work anymore (since sudo does not pass the environment to the new shell anymore. Configuring this didn't work out either - i've SETENV: ALL set).
- I'm using different proxies for upgrading than for usual work tasks on shell.

Is there a possibility to get the ProxyServer option back in the pacman.conf, as an optional setting? I don't know exactly when it was removed - but it must have been some time ago already.

Yours,
Georg

There are multiple ways to adjust how sudo handles environment variables.

a) 'env_keep = HTTP_PROXY'
b) 'setenv' and use sudo -E
c) SETENV:ALL and use sudo -E

If you want different proxies for pacman, alias the command: alias pacmanSyu="HTTP_PROXY=xyz sudo -E pacman -Syu"

Is there a reason you can't use these options?
