Re: Official FreeBSD Binary Packages now available for pkgng

... I still think the SRV record stuff is a bad idea.

Well, I think it's a great idea - because I plan on supporting it in
the next HTTP thing I write - but not having an A record is going to
continue to bite things.

Also, http+pkg:// isn't a defined protocol either and some strict
proxies may actually reject it. You should go back to the http://
protocol.
