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.
