 I disagree, the bug is forcing FETCH_USING in first place.

 for distfiles available only through https:// (including but not
 limited to github) FETCH_USING=3Dcurl is the only way to ensure that
 they can be fetched at all.

 So don't use https-only services. Problem solved.

 FETCH_USING should not be used in Makefiles because it is user's
 variable and normally set in mk.conf. If user sets FETCH_USING in
 mk.conf (I do!), this value will override package's "curl", for example,
 used for fetching distfiles over https. I don't think "So don't use
 https-only services. Problem solved." is a real solution, however. We
 really need a better one.

 There is no reason why the few distfiles can't be (additionally) be
 mirrored locally. The other issue of course is politcally, there is
 little reason to force https for downloads, especially if there are
 mechanisms in place to ensure that authenticity of the files.

 The original PR was that pkglint doesn't understand FETCH_USING. wiz@ fixed
 this a while ago. Can this PR be closed now and any discussion about
 FETCH_USING be done on tech-pkg@ or somewhere else?

Problem is fixed - anyone who wants to flame about FETCH_USING please do it
on tech-pkg.
