Can someone provide a correct example of setting PACKAGESITE so that
pkg_add will find the 7-stable packages for i386? I have tried
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/
as shown in the handbook, and also:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/All/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable
and all have failed. I get messages like
pkg_add: could not find package expat-2.0.1 !
pkg_add: could not find package png-1.2.28 !
pkg_add: could not find package pkg-config-0.23_1 !
etc. Even specifying -v does not cause pkg_add to show exactly
where it is looking (which might provide a clue as to what the
correct setting would look like). The pkg_add manpage shows an
example for PACKAGEROOT, but not for PACKAGESITE.
