pacman, makepkg behind proxy

I am having nightmares behind http proxy.
I have setup pacman with XferCommand curl and added envvars http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy and no_proxy to /etc/profile. Pacman is now working fine.
However makepkg doesn't want to work with whatever config I tried
with /root/.curlrc:
proxy="http://user:pass@proxy:port"

with -x http://user:pass@proxy:port

Re: pacman, makepkg behind proxy

What do you mean by "makepkg doesn't want to work"?  Post the command and error messages.

Makepkg uses pacman for installing dependencies, so if pacman works, makepkg could work that far.

Makepkg also downloads source code for packages that you want to build - but this is done through a wide range of protocols which could be listed in the source array.  Are there certainly protocols that are failing?  Which ones?

Re: pacman, makepkg behind proxy

makepkg uses DLAGENTS (customized commands)  to download sourcefiles .
Check /etc/makepkg.conf to find the exact command used for downloading files over ftp.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
