System: NetBSD tazenda.kollasch.net 3.1 NetBSD 3.1 (XEN3_DOMU_NNPFS) #0: Sat Jul 21 18:57:30 UTC 2007 root@kirkkit.kollasch.net:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/XEN3_DOMU_NNPFS i386

>Description:
The pkg_add(8) man page refers to ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages.
New binary packages are placed in .../pub/pkgsrc/... now.
>How-To-Repeat:
Redirect a handfull of people to the new location on IRC.
Ask them where they got the out-dated info.
>Fix:
Change the example in the man page to refer to the propper URL.
(Or just omit that whole part or whatever.)
