Unfortunately, it seems that pkg_add(1) does not make that as easy as one might prefer. I discovered recently that, even though I am running 8.1-RELEASE (and not 8-STABLE), "pkg_add -r" fetches from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/, rather than from the frozen-at-release -- and thus self-consistent -- collection in .../All/ One way around this is to set PACKAGESITE to, for example, ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/ (making any necessary adjustments to the mirror and release names). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
