[Bug 881654] Re: mk-sbuild needs better http proxy support

[Scott Moser]

** Description changed:

  right now mk-sbuild has minimal support for using an apt proxy.
  Looking at history, in theory this was fixed under bug 416438, but I don't really understand how.
  
  during a 'mk-sbuild' run, such as:
-   ./mk-sbuild --debootstrap-mirror http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --arch amd64 precise
+   ./mk-sbuild --debootstrap-mirror http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu --arch amd64 precise
  
  There are at least 3 places where a proxy would be necessary:
-  a.) initial invocation of debootstrap
-    currently: 
-     sudo "$DEBOOTSTRAP_COMMAND" --arch="$CHROOT_ARCH" \
-        $variant_opt $debootstrap_opts "$RELEASE" \
-        "$MNT" "${DEBOOTSTRAP_MIRROR:-http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu}"
-  b.) the 'finish.sh' script that is invoked inside the chroot after initializing
-  c.) subsequent uses of that schroot

- The only place in which 'http_proxy' environment variable is respected
- as far as I can tell is in 'b'.
+ The only place in which 'http_proxy' environment variable is respected as far as I can tell is in 'b'.
+  a.) http_proxy environment does not make it through 'sudo' by default.
+  c.) creating a new schroot session like:
+      http_proxy=myfooproxy schroot --chroot precise-amd64 --begin-session --session-name foobar
+      http_proxy=myfooproxy schroot --run-session --chroot foobar
+ 
+      the http_proxy variable does not make it through in either case.
