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.
