Been a while since I tried it this way, but on a new install I used to be able to do:


setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/Latest/

pkg_add -r xorg



However it's failing now because xorg.tbz doesn't exist there anymore. What happened to the file for the Xorg metaport?

Same with gnome2.tbz....

Even more frustrating then. Any word as to why? Is there an alternative equivalent way to easily install the latest metaports from packages?

The xorg.tbz is there:


ftp> dir /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/Latest/xorg.tbz
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||28796|)
150 Here comes the directory listing.
lrwxr-xr-x 1 110 1002 19 Feb 25 21:26 xorg.tbz -> ../All/xorg-7.4.tbz
226 Directory send OK.
ftp> dir /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/All/xorg-7.4.tbz
229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||11817|)
150 Here comes the directory listing.
-rw-r--r-- 1 110 1002 4222 Feb 20 18:05 xorg-7.4.tbz
226 Directory send OK.


Out of curiousity, does it work if you pkg_add xorg-7.4.tbz after changing the PACKAGESITE variable to All instead of Latest ?

The xorg.tbz is thereYou're right, it's there now, even using "Latest". Guess I should've tried again before my last post a short while ago. ;)

Just caught it at a bad time yesterday I suppose.

Hmm although gnome2.tbz is still missing 2 days later. :(

Update: gnome2.tbz is still missing, and now xorg.tbz is gone again too.

Surely someone must know what's up...?
