Jeroen T. Vermeulen has proposed merging lp:~jtv/maas/bug-991553 into lp:maas.
Requested reviews: Launchpad code reviewers (launchpad-reviewers) Related bugs: Bug #991553 in MAAS: "maas-import-isos ignores http_proxy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/maas/+bug/991553 For more details, see: https://code.launchpad.net/~jtv/maas/bug-991553/+merge/104328 As requested by Julian after contribution from Scott. This updates our documentation for the benefit of people who want to run maas-import-isos from behind an http proxy. Running the script in “sudo” gives it an environment without variables such as http_proxy that you might have set in your shell. Other ways of doing this would include “sudo su” or “sudo -i” (both of which would create a root login environment, including any http_proxy setting from /etc/profile). But what if you run the script on a server that's not normally supposed to talk http to the outside world? The http_proxy setting might be local to your current shell, or might not normally be set for root. Either way, I think this spelling makes the issue explicit. Even if you simply forgot to set http_proxy, this will remind you to set it.
