For the archives. My perseverance paid off. After sleeping on the problem, today I decided to test my modified pkg_add path on all the FTP sites. The pkg_add defaults to using ftp.freebsd.org, I had always been testing using one of the other 14 ftp sites. When I changed the setenv to use the default ftp server with my customized directory path it all worked. See what a nights sleep will do to clear one's mind. Pkg_add does not login to the ftp site it's pointed at to use. ftp1 through ftp14 all require anonymous login, that's why the script worked no matter which ftp site I used and the pkg_add failed all the time. The pkg_add default ftp.freebsd.org site does not require anonymous login to gain access. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of fbsd_user Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2003 7:03 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD. ORG Subject: get pkg_add to use real package names I have been trying to get the pkg_add -r command to work using the real full package names. IE: qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz pkg_add -r defaults to going to pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/Latest/ and the name there is qpopper. Problem is I can not find any way to find this name spelled like that. FBSD handbook says to use http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html or http://www.freebsd.org/ports/master-index.html to locate the package name, those web pages gives the name as qpopper-4.0.5_1 So I am trying to change pkg_add environment variable to point to different directory location as shown below. Every thing looks fine, except pkg_add says it can not find it. Please review what I have posted below to see if I am missing something simple. Thanks Joe Using the following script, I can verify access to the FBSD ftp sites and download package using official name qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz This is my working script #! /bin/sh cd /usr/packages/ path=pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/mail ftp -av ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/$path/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz Here is the output display messages from this script Connected to ftp2.us.freebsd.org. 220 ftp2.us.freebsd.org FTP server (Version 6.00LS) ready. 331 Guest login ok, send your email address as password. 230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.

So I have proof it lives where I think it does and can find it and download it. # /root >setenv PACKAGESITE "ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release" Setenv is the same path as in my script. PACKAGESITE is the environment variable for pkg__add command. # /root >pkg__add /mail/qpopper-4.0.5_1 test without .tgz and it get's appended by pkg_add looking up ftp2.freebsd.org connecting to ftp2.freebsd.org:21 setting passive mode opening data connection initiating transfer Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/m ail/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/ mail/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz' by URL pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed # /root > this time test with .tgz # /root >pkg_add -rv /mail/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz looking up ftp2.freebsd.org connecting to ftp2.freebsd.org:21 setting passive mode opening data connection initiating transfer Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/m ail/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch 'ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.8-release/ mail/qpopper-4.0.5_1.tgz' by URL pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed # /root > We know the error 'file not found' is incorrect because we just FTP to it direct, so it must be the ' no access' error, which makes no scenes. I know that 5.2 is being readied for release. Is pkg_add written in some way that the ftp server can ignore it's request for service and native ftp still gets serviced? Any in-sight into how FBSD ftp servers work or help on the setting the PACKAGESITE environment variable would be greatly appreciated.
