eval $(podman-machine env box --varlink) doesn't work

[pixystone]

$PODMAN_VARLINK_BRIDGE is empty

[pixy@Pixys-MBP15.local /Users/pixy]
$eval $(podman-machine env box --varlink)

[pixy@Pixys-MBP15.local /Users/pixy]
$export | grep VARLINK

I found this commit f8a0517, but not released yet.

Right, the workaround is setting it to the other variable (after the env call)

I think I will remove $VARLINK_BRIDGE completely, and make --varlink into a no-op and default.

It was never popular with upstream, they want --bridge to be explicit and seem to prefer bridge now.

Fixed in v0.16 (16aed9e)
