If a SOCKS5 gateway is needed for a proxy access like git it might also
require authentication to the proxy via a password and username.  Adding
SOCKS5_USER & SOCKS5_PASSWD to BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE allow for automation
of the authentication request to occur when something like a git fetch
is going through the proxy.

Richard,

I'm able reproduce this, with out my patch I get prompted for a socks password, w/it having SOCKS5_PASSWD set in my environment the git clone is able to succeed.

So from our discussion a while back on IRC:

Aug 11 10:54:20 <RP__>	galak: Well, it will but it will only place it in the internal data store
Aug 11 10:54:42 <RP__>	galak: there isn't anything to say "also export this from the data store into the environment that bitbake uses"

From the way I read  bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py:

def approved_variables():
    """
    Determine and return the list of whitelisted variables which are approved
    to remain in the environment.
    """
...

[ this will add SOCKS5_PASSWD to the 'approved' list ]

and

def filter_environment(good_vars):

[ will not skip unsetting it from the environment since its in the 'approved' list ]

That seems to explain how this ends up working.

So question is what else needs to be done to get this accepted ?
