PKG_PATH can't contain IP addresses except as part of URLs. It can contain entries that aren't URLs. > some times I have packages grabbed in my HD sometimes > I have to install from ftp. > > It's possible do it: > > export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.some; /usr/ports/packages/ You obviously didn't actually try typing that, because you would have gotten an error from the shell: semicolon is a special character to the shell and needs to be quoted to include in a variable value. However, semicolon is the wrong character for PKG_PATH! Please inform the author of the documentation that you got that from that it's wrong and needs to be corrected. Since pkg_add is the command that uses PKG_PATH, did you consider reading the pkg_add(1) manpage to see what it says about it? (If not, please do so in the future: OpenBSD actually documents stuff in manpages!) PKG_PATH If a given package name cannot be found, the directories named by PKG_PATH are searched. It should contain a series of entries separated by colons. Each entry consists of a directory name, ending in a slash. URL schemes such as FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, or SCP are also appropriate. The current di- rectory may be indicated implicitly by an empty directory name, or explicitly by a single period (`./'). So: export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.some/:/usr/ports/packages/ Philip Guenther
