* Argh. The point the whole paragraph makes is that we're not talking * about *just* an environment variable and hence pkg_add and sysinstall * don't even really enter into this discussion. It's just a "well known * knob" as far as that's concerned, and one which happens to work for * both of the above (or any other consumer of libfetch) if set in the * environment. And fetch. * Well bugger! It works for me too now! Ehmmm. I guess I should have * tried it lately. :-) All I can say to that is that I tried this back * in 2.2.7 days and it didn't behave as expected, but in 4.0, at least, * it certainly does. Well nifty, I'm sorry to unfairly impugn the honor * of this code then. I could have sworn I hadn't see any commits to the * login class code lately. Hmmmmm! Ok. I believe that means people who are behind firewalls can set FTP_PASSIVE_MODE in the environment (preferably in /etc/login.conf), so that any of pkg_add sysinstall "make fetch" inside the ports tree calling "fetch" directly work as expected.
