The following reply was made to PR misc/42709; it has been noted by GNATS.

I finally got a response to my problem on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc after I entered this PR. Apparently even though the pkg_add manpage and the Handbook specifically say to go to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/packages to get packages, it looks like there are specific distribution areas for package releases and the URL above should be for -curren and -stable. So it might be that the code is fine, but the manpage and Handbook need clarification. ------=_NextPart_000_048C_01C25A6B.2EBF6190 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; name="Jason Baugher.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Jason Baugher.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Baugher;Jason;R FN:Jason Baugher ORG:Virtual Adept TEL;WORK;VOICE:(217) 221-5406 TEL;HOME;VOICE:(217) 221-5406 ADR;WORK:;;1406 Adams St.;Quincy;IL;62301;USA LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:1406 Adams St.=3D0D=3D0AQuincy, = IL 62301=3D0D=3D0AUSA ADR;HOME:;;1406 Adams St.;Quincy;IL;62301;USA LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:1406 Adams St.=3D0D=3D0AQuincy, = IL 62301=3D0D=3D0AUSA URL;WORK:http://baugher.pike.il.us/virtualadept EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:jason@baugher.pike.il.us REV:20020912T194631Z END:VCARD ------=_NextPart_000_048C_01C25A6B.2EBF6190-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
