[Bug]: pkgdev manifest ignores proxy configuration in make.conf, shell/environment variables

[Kangie]

I have a make.conf configured to use a proxy that does not allow access to github endpoints, and access to another (cntlm) proxy that does.

For reasons of 'I have a direct, paid for, 10gig connection to a Gentoo mirror', it's correct to use this proxy in make.conf, however I do sometimes need to override this for ebuild development purposes / the odd fetch.

I am able to use the cntlm proxy on localhost with ebuild ... manifest:

doas su -c 'https_proxy=localhost:3128 ebuild warewulf-4.4.1.ebuild manifest'

I am unable to do the same thing for with pkgdev - it insists on using the other proxy:

doas su -c 'https_proxy=localhost:3128 pkgdev manifest'

Actually, further investigation reveals that....

Pkgdev seems to be ignoring all proxy settings!

ebuild ... manifest output looks like this:

doas su -c 'https_proxy=localhost:3128 ebuild warewulf-4.4.1.ebuild manifest'
