I am trying to install th= e current afterstep package from the offical freebsd ftp server. =20 Here is what i am trying per the handbook.=20 # pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/p ackages/afterstep/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/packag= es/af terstep/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: child returned status 1 Broken pipe I tried with the -r option. # pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/5.0-CURRENT/pa= ckages/All/afterstep-1.8.11.tbz Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i38 6/5. 0-CURRENT/pack= ages/All/aft erstep -1.8.11.tbz... gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: child returned status 1 Broken pipe The above will probably get trunicated as i am using a html interface for m= ail until my system gets setup so please forgive. Anyways..yes i am forma= ting it as: pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/whatever The man does show .tgz as the package format but i dont see that format and= assume its been changed to .tbz. I have downloaded several .tbz packages= to local disk and used pkg_add to install without trouble but i would li= ke to use the ftp methode on this one so i dont have to find all the deps= etc... as this methode is suppose to install all the deps automatically. Ftp is working as i can manually #ftp ftp.freebsd.org any help would be appreciated. thanks.
