provide possibility to run a command in the proot by preserving the host environment about proot-distro HOT 6 CLOSED

Sorry, but no. Environment variables are being cleaned intentionally.

from proot-distro.

I suggest to create a -p option (p for preserve) for "proot-distro login" so that users can decide if they want to allow environment preservation. The su command has this option, and I motivated my request. Could you give me a hint as to why you prefer not to implement this?

Could you give me a hint as to why you prefer not to implement this?

a. proot-distro tends to provide a clean Linux distribution environment, free from Android. (yet it still create mounts for using termux-api). It is not a launch pad for Linux commands in Termux.
b. Some environment variables must and will be overwritten or unset: PATH, LD_PRELOAD, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and others, potentially leading to clash between Android environment and GNU/Linux.
c. On the first setup it configures all necessary environment variables: https://github.com/termux/proot-distro/blob/master/proot-distro.sh#L309-L325

That's btw the reason why I prefer to use su for login, instead of running shell directly.

Fixing #40 will be enough for overriding default login command and allow to pass custom environment variables.

I haven't figured out how to do this, because some of my current environment variables contain spaces.

Can you suggest a "launch pad for Linux commands" that would allow me to call java from the host?
