Bugzilla Bug 70028

If specifying a custom port for PORTAGE_BINHOST, I get the following:

emerge info, and the PORTAGE_BINHOST string please (need to know how you
specified it).

PORTAGE_BINHOST="ftp://binpkg:binftp@digimyth.yes.nu:2121/pentium4"

In getbinpkg.py, a port argument is never splitted out from "host" and never
submitted to ftplib..

Ok I've patched my getbinpkg.py to support port, but when checking the source,
I realized that ftp://binpkg:binftp@213.89.77.37*:2121/pentium4/All/ would be
the proper way to specify PASV mode, though it only strips out the * after
hostname when using ftplib, not when it calls wget.. will check if there's
possible to tell wget not to use the * or if it has to be solved in another
way.

Patch for getbinpkg.patch to support port in HTTP/HTTPS/FTP

Self-explanatory patch

After going through the source more thoroughly, my suggestion is that a
variable in /etc/make.conf should be read instead.

Maybe a boolean FETCH_PASSIVE that affects both the standard FETCHCOMMAND and
getbinpkg?

looks like this bug was discovered long time ago. I just encountered the same
problem. Is is going to be fixed in portage?

my PORTAGE_BINHOST looks like
PORTAGE_BINHOST="anonymous:pass@192.168.1.4:2121/"

portage gives me this same error message as above.

Zac: you know that code better, opinion on this one?

The patch looks good enough to commit.

Is that directly related to this bug?  Bug 167902 has been filed wrt failures
with servers that don't allow PASV.  I wonder why passive mode shouldn't always
be default since it works nicely when the client is using network address
translation (unlike active mode).
