No, this has not officially changed that recently. There was a change last November that limited the valid URL schemes in a repo.conf only to the ones originally intended[+]. There never should been a 'pkg+ftp://' URL scheme officially -- if it ever worked, that was a bug. FTP support is still available, but you need URLs of the form: url: "ftp://ftp.mysite/pub/FreeBSD/ports/${ABI}"; This implies mirror_type = none, ie. that the listed FTP site simply contains the repository with all the various packages available. The 'pkg+http' or 'pkg+https' URL forms are special for when SRV records are used for mirroring, which is a consequence of the requirement in RFC 2616 that only simple hostnames are used for http:// or https:// URLs. If you're using a pkg+http:// or pkg+https:// URL then you must have mirror_type = srv.
