What if I'd like the "pkg_add -r" to work exactly the same way as it does by default but using an alternative url? Now, let say, there is a url: "ftp://fbsd.local/" with the following directory structure "pub/unix/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/". I'd like to tell "pkg_add -r foopackage" and have it installed with all its dependencies from the url mentioned above. As far as I understand the PACKAGESITE var specifies the exact path to the package, thus if the "/sysutils/foopackage.tgz" depends on "/lang/foodep.tgz" then the latter won't be retrieved and the pkg_adding process will fail. Probably I need to use the PACKAGEROOT var? But in this case the site I intend to use is supposed to have some specific "default FreeBSD" structure, isn't it? In my case "/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/" is a commonly used structure, but it is prefixed by "/pub/unix/". Any ideas about how to solve the problem? Best regards. Vladik Kozin
