How does pkg_add determine what version of a port to add when
'pkg_add -Kr' is used?
pkg_add calls getosreldate(3) to obtain the integer value of the release
of FreeBSD running on the machine.
The list of paths to fetch from are hard-coded based on range
comparisons for the above reldate value. See
src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c for a list.
How can I make pkg_add use 6.3 packages instead of 6.2?
You run pkg_add with a URL that contains "packages-6.3-release" instead
of packages-6.2-release, e.g.:
pkg_add -r
ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-6.3-release/Latest/whatever.tbz
Or just set one of the various env variables that controls fetch
location, see the manpage.
