makepkg: change "sudo" to "sudo -E"?
Would changing "sudo" to "sudo -E" (-E to preserve environment variables in the makepkg provide any security risks?
this might be convenient to users who use $http_proxy and/or $ftp_proxy when running makepkg with the -s (sync deps) switch
just a thougt...

Re: makepkg: change "sudo" to "sudo -E"?
Hmm, sudo is only used in makepkg for installing packages through pacman. So I can't really see any problems with this at first glance...
It is an easy patch if you want to submit it to the pacman-dev list.
