Passing options to pkgng

[darkpixel]

Description of Issue

On some of my FreeBSD hosts that have IPv6 enabled, pkgng is extremely slow. For example running pkg install py36-salt takes over 15 minutes. But if I force pkg to use IPv4 (pkg -4 install py36-salt it takes a few seconds.

There doesn't appear to be a way in salt to tell pkg.installed to pass the -4 option to pkgng.

I know this problem , but it is related to the freebsd infrastructure or anycast dns.

As a workaround can you try to set your Freebsd.conf mirror from quarterly to latest ?

For me this works well... .

Nevertheless a feature request with -4 would be cool . I'm pretty sure that not everyone want /latest
