Greetings,
Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the archives but
couldn't find the information I need.
I have a 6.0 system that was installed with the minimum of optional
packages. I want to install cvsup so that I can update my ports tree.
Trying to use pkg_add to install cvsup, I get the following message:
Error: FTP Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.0-release/Latest/wget.tbz:
File unavailable
Looking at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/ I see that
there is no longer a directory for 6.0-release.
What do I need to do to get an updated ports tree? Should I set
PACKAGESITE so that pkg_add can work? And if so, what value should I
give it? Or do I need to go in another direction?
Thanks in advance.
