If you are running 7-STABLE, setting `PACKAGESITE' to the above value is unnecessary [Handbook, 4.4.1, Note]: "pkg_add(1) will download the latest version of your application if you are using FreeBSD-CURRENT or FreeBSD-STABLE." In that case, just the `-r' option to pkg_add(1) will do. % uname -r 7.0-STABLE % unsetenv PACKAGESITE % echo $PACKAGESITE PACKAGESITE: Undefined variable. % pkg_add -rv expat scheme: [ftp] user: [] password: [] host: [ftp.freebsd.org] port: [0] document: [/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/expat.tbz] ---> ftp.freebsd.org:21 looking up ftp.freebsd.org connecting to ftp.freebsd.org:21 <<< 220 Welcome to freebsd.isc.org. >>> USER anonymous <<< 331 Please specify the password. >>> PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<< 230 Login successful. >>> PWD <<< 257 "/" >>> CWD pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest <<< 250 Directory successfully changed. >>> MODE S <<< 200 Mode set to S. >>> TYPE I <<< 200 Switching to Binary mode. setting passive mode >>> PASV <<< 227 Entering Passive Mode (204,152,184,73,68,212) opening data connection initiating transfer >>> RETR expat.tbz <<< 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for expat.tbz (148302 bytes).
