more benign than first thought and they certainly provide a number of important bug fixes. The modules code will probably remain dormant in 4.3 but it helps code maintainance to keep it synced up anyway. The softupdates support code also turned out to be so trivial that it's a low-risk feature addition.

into this one from the PR] 1) Installing via HTTP proxy ( mediaSetHTTP() ) relies on mediaSetFTP(). It's broken right now because the method of looking up the correct directory on the FTP server was changed in version 1.39 of ftp.c. This has to be changed in http.c, too. I only look for one path (pub/FreeBSD/releases/MACHINE), though. 2) The issue that the FTP server's name should be resolved by the proxy: The current fix unsets VAR_NAMESERVER before calling mediaSetFTP(). But in a normal install, the network hasn't been set up at this time. Therefore, mediaSetFTP() will call tcpDeviceSelect() which sets VAR_NAMESERVER. Therefore the unwanted lookup takes place.

MFC: IPv6 support.

IPv6 configuration is only done by rtsol. Does someone really need manual configuration? :-) You can specify IPv6 DNS server as well. We have only one server ftp7.jp.freebsd.org that speaks IPv6 in this time. ftp7.jp speaks IPv4 as well and also listed as Japan #7.
