Hi.
I am wondering if there is a way to install binary 
packages
using http instead of ftp.
Let me explain... I tried several ways to install KDE on 
my
NetBSD/i386 (various versions, 1.6.1, 1.6.2, -current, now
  2.0_BETA), but none worked. In the NetBSD/i386 1.6.2 
binary
packages directory on NetBSD's ftp site kdelibs-3.?.?.tgz 
is
missing, so I tried to manually install kdelibs-3.2.3. 
But the other packages' version is 3.2.1, so (I think) 
that
did not work (missing libraries and strange errors while
starting deinit...).
Later I found Hubert Feyrer's binary packages on 
Regensburg
  University's website. They are much more up-to-date than
those on the official netbsd.org ftp, but the only 
supported protocol is http, and pkg_add refuses to work 
with PKG_PATH set to Feyrer's site. 
I tried to compile kde from scratch as well... but
g++ compiling qt3-libs-3.3.2 always hangs :-(
Hmm... what can I do? Has anyone got any suggestion? 
Thank you very much,
Davide
