However fetch is actually doing the right thing in only fetching from the packages-5.1-release directory on your 5.1-RELEASE, because packages built for newer versions of FreeBSD-CURRENT are not guaranteed to work on 5.1-RELEASE. > How can I change URIs where fetch is looking for the latest packages?
