I might try -f flag. After getting txz files, I found them
in /var/cache/pkg/All directory. None of them installed. So,
I still have old packages. They work, but it is not what was
intended.
I will repeat: first I installed pkg. Then issued pkg2ng. I see
no difference in db dir. I changed server address to numerical
(96.47.72.120). Then I used "pkg update" to have it fresh. Last,
"pkg upgrade". It downloaded and lot more. I went further, with
kernel recompile. After reboot, I see older apps, from 9.1. Ones
for 9.2 are in before mentioned directory.

I'm aware of that. But, it was a step in one of manuals (or "manuals").

Does not work for me. I get nothing with this line in pkg.conf.
To say again, I have files on my node, but they do not install.
I messed something, but cannot find out what it is.
Does someone have success with pkg-test in conf file?
