 Thanks, that will be a big help.
 
 I'm scripting out a process to bring a host up to a
 local standard which includes pkgsrc and src trees.
 With ${pick_date} there are some hoops to figure out
 the url.
 
 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/200708100002Z/source/sets/src.tgz
 
 I wonder if there is any reason not to symlink
 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/${pick_date} to
 ./pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-3/netbsd-3 every time a
 new ${pick_date} comes out? Then we have a fixed url
 for whatever most current snapshot of the tag is
 available.
 
 Yeah, that puts the tag in the url twice, maybe the
 symlink could be called "snapshot"?
