Subject:   6.2 AMD64 Ports Problem 
Message-ID:  <20070917152659.D3B2D13C46A@mx1.freebsd.org>

I downloaded the 6.2 AMD64 disk 1 iso, installed it and updated the ports with

cvsup. However, when I try to install xorg it's looking for ports that are not in

the packages-6.2 folder. Instead they are in the packages-7-current or

packages-current folder. Is it safe to install from those folders?



In an attempt to get one of the updated ports I put in the /root/.profile 

"PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amb64/packages-current" and

logged out. But when I run PKG_ADD -r dri-7.0.1,2.tbz. It tells me it could not

find the port.



Why doesn’t it pick up the PKG_PATH from the .profile?
