OSRELEASE is an environment variable which value should be set to 6.2-release, 7.0-release, 8-current, etc. depending on what release you are running. This variable also tells pkg_add_it from which directory on the FreeBSD FTP server to fetch the packages - 6.2-release, 7.0-release, etc.. pkg_add_it will run even if this variable is not set by default - then it uses a default value which is 8-current I've added this variable so if someone running for example FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE want's to install new version of a given package which is under the 7.0-release would set OSRELEASE=7.0-release and install the package successfuly. That is why this variable is not set by default to the output of uname -r for example. Cheers, DNAeon Last edited by DNAeon; 6th October 2008 at 10:33 PM. |

If you haven't already seen it, Dru put up a short review of your new pkg_add_it on one of her blogs: http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/bsd-guru/pkg_add_it-27582
