Hello,

OE doesn't use the http_proxy variables from environment !

Normaly the BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE environment Variable is used to import
environment variables into OE environment. But it is reported, that this
dosn't work with http_proxy somehow.

Put your proxy settings into ~/.wgetrc (local user setting) or
/etc/wgetrc (system wide setting). 
For svn put it into ~/.subversion/servers. 
For git search in google for settings and try it, I haven't much luck
with it.

Regards
Wolfgang
