[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 02/13] tests/vm: send proxy environment variables over ssh

[Gerd Hoffmann]

Packages are fetched via proxy that way, if configured on the host.
That might be required to pass firewalls, and it allows to route
package downloads through a caching proxy server.

Needs AcceptEnv setup in sshd_config on the guest side to work.
