Bug 273134: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg 1.20.5 ignores NETRC env variable
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273134



--- Description ---
Having repo config like:

default: {
    enabled: yes,
    priority: 0,
    url: "https://example.com/freebsd/pkg/${ABI}/default",
    mirror_type: "none",
    signature_type: "none",
    fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
    env: {
	NETRC: "/usr/local/etc/pkg/.netrc"
    }
}

basic authentication no longer works.
I've tried to see how libcurl treats .netrc files, but it seems the feature
must be explicitly enabled:
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_NETRC.html

The bug is already reported on GitHub:
