Default Cant use add_pkg

I did an install of this weekend and followed the guide at netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html so i could get started after install.

In that guide it says that i have to activate a package source with following commands:

# export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/<PORT>/<RELEASE-NUMBER>/All"
# export PKG_PATH

When its done one should be able to install software with:

# pkg_add -v softwarename

I cant find a source for 5.0.1 and the 5.0 source wont work. If i use a 5.0 source pkg_add tells me i am using the wrong platform.

I have been googling for a solution most of sunday without finding anything that helps. And those guides i find are obsolete.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

Did you paste exactly the same PKG_PATH?

You should change <PORT> for example to i386, depends which port do you use. <RELEASE-NUMBER> change to 5.0.

Best Regards
Tom

No.. thats just a paste from the guide. I changed to i386 and 5.0 when writing the line on my netbsd install. My NetBSD 5.0.1 wont accept a i386 5.0 repo

As far as I know, the 5.0 packages should still work with 5.0.1, they do for me. The pkg_add problem you're having also seems strange; when I do it I get a warning about the different versions, but it still proceeds with the addition. For example:

Code:
# echo $PKG_PATH
.;/mnt/samsung/usr/local/src/NetBSD/5.0/packages;ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/i386/5.0/All

# pkg_add -v abcde-2.3.3nb2    
pkg_add: Warning: package `abcde-2.3.3nb2' was built for a platform:
pkg_add: NetBSD/i386 5.0 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/i386 5.0.1 (this host)
pkg_add: Warning: package `cd-discid-0.9' was built for a platform:
pkg_add: NetBSD/i386 5.0 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/i386 5.0.1 (this host)
bin/cd-discid
man/man1/cd-discid.1

pkg_add: Warning: package `id3-0.15' was built for a platform:

bin/id3

pkg_add: Warning: package `id3v2-0.1.11nb2' was built for a platform:

pkg_add: Warning: package `id3lib-3.8.3nb4' was built for a platform:
pkg_add: NetBSD/i386 5.0 (pkg) vs. NetBSD/i386 5.0.1 (this host)

bin/id3

...
Not sure what to suggest at the moment.
