            Bug ID: 197047
           Summary: freebsd-update fails to parse mirror list
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: dronmbi at gtn.ru

freebsd-update(8) uses case-sensitive regexp to parse mirror list, which causes
it to find no mirrors if ServerName capitalization is different from the one
returned by host(1). This bug is also present in 9.3-RELEASE and possibly
others.

E.g.:

ServerName is "update.FreeBSD.org" (default)

`host -t srv host -t srv _http._tcp.update.FreeBSD.org' returns this:

_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 40 80 update6.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 30 80 update2.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 35 80 update4.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 5 80 update3.freebsd.org.
_http._tcp.update.freebsd.org has SRV record 1 50 80 update5.freebsd.org.

freebsd-update uses sed(1) to parse this list:

sed -nE "s/${MLIST} (has SRV record|server selection) //p"

which returns nothing.
It should look like this instead, because domain names are not case-sensitive:

sed -nE "s/${MLIST} (has SRV record|server selection) //pi"
