From: Luke Shumaker lukeshu@parabola.nu

A previous iteration of this change (libretools commit d7dcce53396d) simply inserted `env -i` to clear the environment.

However, that lead to it ignoring proxy settings, which some users had problems with:

https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/487: > To fix other bugs, the pacstrap environment is blank, which also > means that the proxy settings are blank.

So (in libretools commit d17d1d82349f), I changed it to use `declare -x` to inspect the environment, and create a version of it only consisting of variables ending with "_proxy" (case-insensitive).

I honestly don't remember what "other bugs" prompted me to clear the environment in the first place. --- mkarchroot.in | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
