Solved Poudriere fetching jails fails

[getopt]

When trying to create a Poudriere jail fetching fails:

# poudriere jail -c -m http -v 10.2-RELEASE -a i386 -j 10_2i386
[00:00:00] ====>> Creating 10_2i386 fs... done
fetch: http://ftp.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/i386/i386/10.2-RELEASE/MANIFEST: Not Found
fetch: http://ftp.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/i386/i386/10.2-RELEASE/MANIFEST: Not Found
[00:00:01] ====>> Error: Failed to fetch from http://ftp.freebsd.org/ftp/releases/i386/i386/10.2-RELEASE/MANIFEST
[00:00:01] ====>> Error while creating jail, cleaning up.

When looking at the directory tree there is no /ftp but /pub on the host.
Where can this be patched?

I am pretty sure that poudriere jail -c -j 10amd64 -v 10.2-STABLE which I have in my notes worked a few weeks ago beside one item. I think I have had to replace 10.2-STABLE to 10.2-RELEASE or so because at this time the system was already on 10.3-PRERELEASE. As far as I remember the default mode is not http but ftp and the achitecture is different compared to the first post, but I had nothing to re-write.

Just ran into the same problem. If you change FREEBSD_HOST in /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf to (the new?) https://download.freebsd.org it works fine.

It seems to select a mirror near you like https://pkg.freebsd.org. Can someone confirm this?
