Aaargh I'm going crazy trying to set up portupgrade to use packages. I have a system where uname -r says "4.5-PRERELEASE". So "portupgrade -PP" is insisting on looking in ftp://ftp2.au.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-prerelease/All/<pkg-name>; Which of course doesn't exist. I need it to use "/packages-4.5-release/All" for this ftp mirror, but i cannot work out the correct magic. I've tried export PKG_PATH="/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/" but that is just ignored. I tried export PKG_PATH="$PACKAGEROOT/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/" but that complains that "ftp is not a valid path" then "/ftp2.au.FreeBSD.org/ pub/Fre... is not a valid path". (i.e. is splitting on : not space as specified in the pkg_fetch man page). I've tried all sorts of hacks and tweaks, but short of hacking the OS strung that uname returns, I'm stumped. I'm no ruby expert either. hints?
