thank you for your replies, I feel somewhat honored that the two big shots here take the time to deal with this.

J65nko:
before I have exported PACKAGESITE, env |grep PACKAGESITE gives nothing
then if i export PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/
I get stable-7 in env | grep PACKAGESITE

Carpetsmoker:
with pf turned off and with packagesite set as above I get
Code:
[viktor@Dell /usr/home/viktor]$ env |grep PACKAGESITE
PACKAGESITE=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7-stable/Latest/
[viktor@Dell /usr/home/viktor]$ sudo pkg_add -nr add
Password:
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.0-release/Latest/add.tbz... Done.
but
Code:
[viktor@Dell /usr/home/viktor]$ uname -a
FreeBSD Dell 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008     root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386
is the problem that you cannot use 7-stable with a 7.0-release (whatever that is) so it reverts to the default?
