Oh, this nearly works, but pkg.conf needs a full pkgpath (with either version number or "snapshots" and machine arch)... Marc, would you consider permitting variables (either just in pkg.conf, or in PKG_PATH in general) which are replaced at runtime with the current OS version and cpu arch? That way we could provide a sample pkg.conf that looks something like the excerpt below: -- -- -- -- # $OpenBSD$ # Users of release versions can simply uncomment a line. # Users of snapshots should replace %V with the word 'snapshots'. # Australia #installpath=http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/OpenBSD/%V/packages/%A/ #installpath=http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/%V/packages/%A/ #installpath=http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/OpenBSD/%V/packages/%A/ # Austria #installpath=http://ftp5.eu.openbsd.org/ftp/pub/OpenBSD/%V/packages/%A/ #installpath=http://ftp2.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/%V/packages/%A/ <...> -- -- -- --
