short pkg_add -r question

[Florian Hengstberger]

Hi!
Just a short question:
When I download compiled packages with pkg_add -r, where
are the binary packages stored? I want to share them over the net
for other hosts.

Thanks, Florian

They are not saved to disk.  If you want a saved copy, you can
download explicitly with fetch(1), ftp(1) or your favourite ftp client
and then use pkg_add with no -r.  Alternatively, you can use
pkg_create -b to make a new package from your installed copy.
