Er, ok that makes slight sense. In /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk it says:

# FETCH_ENV     - Environment to pass to ${FETCH_CMD}.
#                 Default: none

So how is it picking up that it needs to go thru a proxy at all, given
that this is also only specified in the environment?

Also, am I supposed to literally repeat my same environment variables
in FETCH_ENV? Meaning I have to place my password in plain text again
in my environment? This is horrific...

Also, even after doing that, it still doesn't look at the environment
variables. I prepended "-v" to FETCH_ENV to show that it is setting
the right environment variables, but fetch in ports is still not
looking at them:

*.freebsd.org is whitelisted through the proxies, which is why the
second fetch gets a 404 and not a 407

Any thoughts?

Cheers
