if that's not the intended behavior, does anyone have any pointers on how to
make it work that way?
this is on about a 4 day old -current, but it's been not working the way i've

thanks!
I have found that adding a PKG_CACHE is useful, but is not the "final"
source.
perhaps you could use:
PKG_CACHE=localnet/nfs/server
and
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp3.usa./ftp/path/as/usual...
PKG_CACHE is used if has correct version, else a newer version is
downloaded and also added to cache.
As I recently learned, abc-1.2.0p0 and abc-1.2.0p0 are often different
versions in -current.
So just copying off of ftp will not be useful
