2007/3/12, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
pkg_add does all of this for you - without the need for a separate
FETCH_CMD or enclosing PKG_PATH in quotes.
The quotes are from export.
then you only need to do each time:
pkg_add -iv <pkgname>
& it will be downloaded/installed as needed. on my box the above works
fine - i.e. retrieving packages via http:// is understood by pkg_add -
as documented/expected!
Aha. And why doesn't it work?
----------------
sudo pkg_add -iv wdiff
Error from http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/:
ftp: Writing -: Broken pipe
Can't find wdiff-0.5
/usr/sbin/pkg_add: wdiff-0.5:Fatal error
export
declare -x
PKG_PATH="http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/i386/";
----------------
It works with ftp, but ftp doesn't work because of the firewall.
