It seems to be hardcoded in usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c

FreeBSD comes with the default mirror (ftp), see when you use pkg_add,
in my case it failed, is the reason because i changed to the mirror
(ftp), you can use diferent ftp
ftp
:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch
'ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-current/Latest/xscreensaver.tbz'
by URL
but i put :
freebsd# setenv PACKAGESITE
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/Latest/
freebsd
you may want to define the PACKAGESITE variable in the .cshrc file in your
$HOME;

Hello all,
I started using FreeBSD about a week ago, and I really like the system.
Have been using Linux for the last few years.
One noob question though, according to the Handbook on Packages and
Ports, I can use packages for either RELEASE, STABLE, or CURRENT.
How exactly would this

Nice to see another GLUG member on here.

opinion it is the gold standard in how any

that if 'Latest' is not found,
'All' is implied to pkg_add when PACKAGESITE is explicitly defined
(otherwise overridden with hard-coded values).
The most intuitive PACKAGESITE is the one pointing to the directory *before*
All including trailing slash. This way one can add packages by origin
to pkg_add when PACKAGESITE is explicitly defined
(otherwise overridden with hard-coded values).
With that, I am still trying to figure out the proper hierarchy:
Scenario 1.) If I 'pkg_add -r foo.3.2_1.tbz' from www.example.com/packages,
should 'All' be implied after 'packages' (packages/All)?
Scenario 2
, it is a bit counter-intuitive. However it's documented in the pkg_add(1)
manpage that PACKAGESITE should resolve to the full URL where packages can be
found (even the trailing slash).
I've found in practice, that it is the easiest to set your webroot below All/,
so that All/foo-1.2.3.tbz resolves
parameters, base and spec, and has the following behavior --

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with the PACKAGESITE code in

5) If an admin wants to install pre-compiled packages that are not
present in the default release directory, they can configure pkg_add
-r to source packages from one of the other package directories by
setting the PACKAGESITE environment variable to point to one of the
other package
on admin
anyway, so setting one env variable is not a heavy burden.
And how does one go about *permanently* changing the pkg_add -r
target. You can set the PACKAGESITE variable in the shell which will
work on a user-by-user basis but isn't there a way to centrally change
PACKAGESITE without
I'm curious, why does pkg_add -r point to the release snapshot of
