Doing the same for pkgsrc is mostly copy&paste (I've already done that), but it's not very clean. To fetch pkgsrc, you cannot use the ftp directories as used before, because they are rooted in the netbsd/ directory. To fetch pkgsrc, you'd have to use a ../pkgsrc/ in the pathname. Do you really want that? Or rather change the ftp root directory (which might not be reliable)? Regards, Julian
