If PKG_PATH is set, it's used directly. If not but installurl exists and you're on a release version rather than a snapshot, pkg_add will generate a default path including /pub/OpenBSD/%c/%a/packages (release build) and /pub/OpenBSD/%c/%a/packages-stable (-stable binary packages). -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
