AntiEvilMaid install proxy workaround

[david415]

I doubt many people will have this weird problem...
My netvm is connect via ethernet switch to a tor/http proxy... so if I'm going to install new package with yum I have to use my local http proxy.

When I followed the instruction here:
https://www.qubes-os.org/wiki/AntiEvilMaid/

I initially had trouble with this command:
sudo qubes-dom0-update anti-evil-maid

The workaround is easy. Simply add the http_proxy environment variable to /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh like this:
export http_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:8080
export https_proxy=http://192.168.1.1:8080

Perhaps the user docs should be updated with this info?

The standard way to configure yum should also be enough - add proxy=...
to /etc/yum.conf in dom0.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?

Standard way of configuring proxy in package manager is enough (/etc/yum.conf),
nothing Qubes specific needed.
