How to set "fetch" and "libfetch" to use socks5 by default.

[freezr]

As per the title, I need to make fetch and libfetch using "SOCKS5_PROXY=" automatically for all those operations where I can't set it manually!

Is that possible? How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance...

Which operations exactly had you in mind?

Setting the variable per user in the users account login shell start configuration file or global shell conf file , ~/.login_conf, or for all users globally in /etc/login.conf, would affect all fetch/libfetch operations.

Poudriere uses fetch to download stuff.

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf:

# If you are using a proxy define it here:
# export HTTP_PROXY=bla
# export FTP_PROXY=bla

/usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf:

# If you are using a proxy define it here:
# export HTTP_PROXY=bla
# export FTP_PROXY=bla

I do believe that I tried something like:

export SOCKS5_PROXY=localhost:12000

But it didn't work out and therefore I opened this thread...

Check vermaden 's article "FreeBSD/Poudriere in High Security Proxy Environments", "Important Poudriere Config Part" (scroll the page half the way down).

Try adding SOCKS5_PROXY besides the other PROXY variables.
