Hello FreeBSD Pros, :) adding ports is a nice feature. Adding packages is even nicer to me. The problem for me is, i use the web frontend of freebsd.org to scan for good ports and try to add the package for this port with: # pkg_add -r <package_name> Sometime it fetches the packages ... like "licq-console": Fetching ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/ licq-console.tgz... Done. Sometime it won't find it ... like "darkstar": Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/ darkstar.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch `ftp://ftp.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest /darkstar.tgz' by URL Why can't the pkg_add don't find this and find the other? Can i specify a better "PACKAGESITE" or "PACKAGEROOT" environment, which would get it better?
