Hi,

I'm running 8.0-STABLE and I noticed that by default pkg_add -r uses
packages-8.0-release/Latest/ as PACKAGESITE. I read in the handbook[1]
that pkg_add should use packages-5-stable/Latest/ as PACKAGESITE when
one is running -STABLE.

I took a look at the source code, and noticed that pkg_add considers
the system -STABLE if getosreldate() (i.e. __FreeBSD_version) is between
800500 and 899000 (see src/usr.sbin/pkg_install/add/main.c:92).
However, in RELENG_8, __FreeBSD_version is set to 800108. You can check
it via cvsweb[2].

Sounds like something is wrong. Am I missing something?
Do I just have to wait for the __FreeBSD_version to be bumped?

Regards,
Paride
